The restore configuration has four stages:

  1. Entity selection

  2. Conflict resolution

  3. Overview

  4. Import results

...

The entities are presented with drop-down menus and are marked with a grey highlight, while the rows without any highlights are entity items.

The entity items can be one of the following types:

...

Info
  • The import can have three results:
    • Success: all data has been imported successfully.
    • Warning: there were items during the import that could not be identified, therefore no action has been taken on those items.
    • Failed: a fatal error has occurred, the import is failed, no action has been taken on any of the items.
  • On the results page a link is displayed next to the entity which takes you to the edit page of the entity.
  • The import log can be found in the browser's console as well in a JSON format.

If all the above steps are carried out properly, you should now have all the configurations of the backup file in your system.
