This section presents additional backup-related activities. The first activity contains the installation backup recovery procedure. Whereas the other activity contains the details of the backups that can be deleted after SoftExpert Suite is updated. See the topics below:

If you need to recover the SoftExpert Suite backup after the update process, stop the Tomcat, PDF Converter, and SoftExpert Suite services, and recover the backup, as shown in the procedure below. Then, restart the services that have been stopped.
Stopping the services​
- Stop the execution of the SoftExpert Suite service:
# service sesuite stop
Recovering the SoftExpert Suite backup ​
- Access the SoftExpert Suite installation directory and delete the web, log, platform, and tools folders:

# rm -rf web log platform tools
- Access the directory that was used to back up the SoftExpert Suite installation directory:
# cd <backup_directory>
- Decompress the backup of the version that was installed before the update in the SoftExpert Suite installation directory:
#\ tar -zxvf sesuite\_<version>\_DDMMYYYY_HHMM.bkp.tar.gz –d /usr/local/se
