+ | ==== 2. Set the number of files to keep ==== | ||
+ | Users can define the maximum number of backup files to keep by setting **"Number of Backup Files to Keep"** in the General section of BioStar 2. Once a specific number is set, the oldest backup data will be deleted when the number of backup files exceeds this limit. | ||
+ | |||
+ | <callout type="primary" icon="true"> | ||

+ | * Example) \\ {{:en:pic7.png?400|}} | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== 3. Use the extra application to restore ==== | ||
+ | Restoring the data is processed through the extra tool named "biostar-restore." The tool will be automatically installed when installing BioStar 2 v.2.9.3 and located in C:\Program Files\BioStar 2(x64). | ||
+ | Since the specific tool for data restoration is separate from BioStar 2, users can attempt to restore data when BioStar 2 isn't running normally due to configuration problems or database issues. \\ | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== 4. Restorable depending on the backup data version ==== | ||
+ | If the backup data was generated using a version lower than the current one, it cannot be restored through this new function. \\ | ||
+ | **Example)** \\ | ||
+ | If the backup data is generated in v.2.9.3, it CANNOT be restored in v.2.9.4 or a higher version of BioStar 2. \\ | ||
