214 Maintaining Networks
Note: When you open a network restored from a hot backup of the network database, a message may
appear prompting you to resynchronize the LonMaker drawing to match the database. This occurs if
changes were made to the drawing after the hot backup of the network database was created.
Restoring a LonMaker Drawing Backup
To restore a LonMaker drawing backup, follow these steps:
1. Open the LonMaker Design Manager. Click Start on the taskbar, point to Programs, point to
Echelon LonMaker, and then select LonMaker.
2. Select the LonMaker drawing to restore from the Drawing Directory list.
3. Click Restore. The LonMaker Restore dialog box opens, unless the currently selected network
does not have any backups saved in the default location. In this case, proceed to step 6 to select
the drawing backup to restore in the Select Backup File dialog.
4. Select the Restore from LonMaker Backup checkbox.
5. If there is no file containing both network database and LonMaker drawing backups, the Select
Backup File dialog opens. Otherwise, click Browse to open this dialog.
6. Select the LonMaker backup file (.zip extension) of the desired LonMaker drawing to restore (the
drawing backup files are in the following format by default: <network name>Dwg[_index].zip),
and click Open or double-click the LonMaker backup file.
7. Click OK in the LonMaker Restore dialog box.
8. The LonMaker tool checks for user privileges. If this LonMaker network is password protected
(see User Profiles in Chapter 3, Getting Started), enter your user name and password and then
click OK. Your user profile must have the Modify privilege selected for the network object to
restore a LonMaker drawing. The Confirm Restore dialog box appears.
9. Click OK. A message appears prompting you to select whether to delete or overwrite the existing
directory.
10. Click Yes to delete the existing drawing folder before restoring the network, or click No to
overwrite it. The drawing restore operation begins.
11. When the drawing has been restored, a message appears informing you that the drawing was
restored successfully.
Restoring a Full Network Backup
To restore a full network backup containing both the network database and LonMaker drawing files,
follow these steps:
1. Open the LonMaker Design Manager. Click Start on the taskbar, point to Programs, point to
Echelon LonMaker, and then select LonMaker.
2. Select the network to restore by selecting either the database from the Database Name list or the
LonMaker drawing from the Drawing Directory list.
3. Click Restore. The LonMaker Restore dialog box opens.
