Except for instances where the client and the server are on the same machine, the {{IMSMANG}} database cannot be restored to a client-only machine. However, {{IMSMANG}} Restore can be used to restore client settings including the GIS database, Data Entry Form templates, iReport templates, map files and translation .properties files. This functionality is particularly useful when connecting new clients to a server as this allows information managers to prebuild pre-build the GIS database and map configurations and simply restore them to on the new clientscomputer.{{HowTo's|[[Restore IMSMA Data from a Backup|Restore IMSMA Data from a Backup]]}}

On a client machine, {{IMSMANG}} Restore acts as a file copying function, copying files included in the backup to the correct location on the client. {{IMSMANG}} Restore also attempts to back up any files it is replacing. These backup directories have “_orig” appended to their file names to distinguish them from the new files.

And because the client restore works as a file copy function, Of cause it is also possible to manually copy the desired files into to the client computer from the backup folder to the correct locations without running {{IMSMANG}} Restore. This  [[Image:Client restore database error.png|center|300px]]<div align="center">''IMSMA Restore on client - only database selected message''</div>If you get this message your computer is configured as a client and the IMSMA database can only be a helpful shortcut when a full restored on the '''server'''. You selected only to restore the IMSMA database and therefore no data was restored.  [[Image:Client restore confirm.png|center|300px]]<div align="center">''IMSMA Restore on client - confirm message''</div> The other data you requested to restore has been restored but the IMSMA database has not been restored since computer is not necessaryconfigured as a client.
