Restore IMSMA Backup on Server

	If you are running IMSMA in a client/server configuration, the following procedures should be performed on the IMSMA server.

To restore IMSMA data on the server:

Before beginning the restoration process, verify that the IMSMA^NG server, all IMSMA clients and all connections to the IMSMA^NG database from e.g. Navicat have been disconnected.
