How to Perform a Manual Restore of kwiklook

kwiklook may be restored manually from a restore.

Prerequisites

• A backup of kwiklook must be available in the form of:
  1. A *.zip file created using kwiklook Backup
  2. A copy of the FutureIT Directory (containing the kwiklook Directory) and a SQL Server Backup of the kwiklook Database i.e. 'kwiklook.bak'.

Procedure

1. Establish a New Instance of kwiklook - A kwiklook Master Setup with Advanced Options (to NOT install SQL 2005 Express) is used to establish directories, create shortcuts, add Registry entries and register ActiveX Controls on the new machine.
2. Restore Directories - The contents of the FutureIT directory should be restored. Delete the newly installed files and folders in the FutureIT direcrory and replace with the equivalent backed-up files and folders from the *.zip file. If the location of the FutureIT directory is different to the location on the old machine, do not delete / replace KLNET.INI and kwiklook.ini as these files contain the path names to folders in the directory.
3. SQL Server - if a new SQL Server has been established for the kwiklook SQL Database, then it must be configured for kwiklook and the kwiklook Database restored to it.
