Information managers can scheduled backups using PGSQL Administration tools, for example, and build daily or weekly routines that back up the database automatically. These backups work similarly to {{IMSMANG}} Backup; however, any backup made outside of {{IMSMANG}} will have to be restored manually. Even so, regularly scheduled backups are an excellent component of a backup strategy.
{{note| In a client/server configuration, backups should be made from the server rather than the clients. Similarly, backups can only be restored on the {{IMSMANG}} server.}}

{{Warning| {{IMSMANG}} Restore replaces all data in the {{IMSMANG}} database and copy over existing files. Prior to restoring the {{IMSMANG}} database, information managers should ensure that all necessary data has been backed up. {{IMSMANG}} Restore operations cannot be undone.}}
{{HowTo's| [[Restore IMSMA Data from a Backup| Restore IMSMA Backup on Server]]|[[Restore IMSMA Backup on Client]]}}
Backups created using {{IMSMANG}} Backup should be restored using {{IMSMANG}} Restore. {{IMSMANG}} Restore allows users to determine which components of an {{IMSMANG}} Backup to restore. The components available depend on the options that were selected during backup. Each option behaves slightly differently depending on whether the restore is occurring on a server or a client.
In a client/server environment, the {{IMSMANG}} database can be restored only on the server machine so as to prevent accidental deletion of data by client users. Conducting an {{IMSMANG}} Restore on the server machine (or a stand-alone machine) restores the {{IMSMANG}} database and the available attachments to the server, replacing any existing data in the {{IMSMANG}} database. When a restore is complete, {{IMSMANG}} closes and must be restarted.
{{note| In a client/server environment, it is recommended to stop the server prior to restoring the database to ensure all clients are disconnected.}}
