|
||||
Before starting:
|
||||
|
||||
- PostgreSQL is installed on both machines (same major version recommended)
|

- The app is **not running** during restore

- You know the database credentials

## 🧭 Steps to Restore Database on Another PC
|
||||
|
||||
### 🖥️ Step 1 — Create Backup on Main PC
|
||||
|
||||
- Generate the backup.dump file from the backup page from the app.
|
||||
|
||||
### Step 2 — Copy Backup File to Target PC
|
||||
|
||||
- Transfer the backup file to the second PC using USB, network share, cloud, or SCP.
|
||||
|
||||
= Example destination path:
|
||||
C:\db_backups\backup.dump
|
||||
|
||||
### 🧹 Step 3 — Prepare the Target PC
|
||||
|
||||
- Stop the DentalApp application to avoid database locks.
|
||||
- Ensure PostgreSQL is installed and running.
|
||||
|
||||
- (Optional but recommended) Drop the existing database:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
PGPASSWORD='mypassword' dropdb -U postgres -h localhost dentalapp
