Copy Production Database to Test Database in e-automate (EA)

Created by Craig Gaines, Modified on Tue, 12 Dec, 2023 at 9:42 AM by Craig Gaines

1. Login to saapp.

2. Open e-admin. It is in the start menu under the ECi folder. It has a wrench icon.


3. Click MationSA Company ID.

3. Click Maintenance and then Backup. Admin password is in 1password as e-Automate admin login.

4. Leave the database and filename as the defaults and then click OK. 

5. The backup takes about 1 minute. Click OK when it's finished.

6. Now click MationTest Company ID.

7. Click Maintenance and then Restore. Admin password is in 1password as e-Automate admin login. 

8. Click the (...) icon to search

9. Use the backup with the date and time that from the time you are doing this. For me it's CoMationSA_2023_12_12_09_24_00.bak. You'll see that in step 4. 

10. It will ask you, "Are you sure you want to restore a backup database to 'Mation Test'? All data in 'Mation Test' will be lost."

Make sure it says Mation Test or you are restoring to the wrong database. Click Yes if everything is correct.

11. The restore takes a couple of minutes. When it's finished, you're done.
