Overview

A sample vault that comes with M-Files Server installation is a suitable playground for testing purposes. If the sample vault gets in the condition that you would like to start over, there is a fresh version of it in original condition available in the M-Files Server installation directory.
 

Restoring the Sample Vault

To restore the sample vault, do the following:
  • Open M-Files Admin.
  • In the left-side tree view, expand the desired connection to M-Files Server.
  • Still in the left-side tree view, select Document Vaults.
  • Click Restore Document Vault... on the task area.
  • In the Restore Document Vault dialog in the Full backup field, specify the location of the sample vault file in the M-Files Server installation folder:
C:\Program Files\M-Files\<version>\Server\sample\Sample Vault.mfb
  • Select Restore using original identity or Restore as a different vault (new identity) if you want to generate a new unique ID and to specify a new name for the vault.
  • Check the Overwrite existing files option check box if restoring over the old one
  • In the Location for vault data on server field, specify the location where the data of the sample vault is saved if restoring over old one
  • Optionally Click Advanced... if you have defined a separate location for file data.
  • Click OK - you should not disable any of the features when prompted
