You access the Restore Wizard by clicking Tools > Restore. The Restore Wizard provides options for performing the following:

Restores one or more models to the site. You can also use this option to create a test model and catalog databases. Test and production databases must have the same name to merge changes from the test database into the production database using the Restore Wizard. This is the default option on the Introduction page of the Restore Wizard.

The intent of the Restore one or more databases from backup option is to restore a model that already exists (or has pointers) in the current site database. Typically, this situation happens when the production model needs to be rolled back to a previous date or immediately after restoring a backup of the site database onto a new server. In the latter case, only the pointer to the site is present and you would want to follow that action by restoring the model and the catalog databases on that server as well.

Restores a model from backup, without overwriting the existing model. You can then use the Copy and Paste and Restore commands in the Smart 3D modeling environment to restore objects from that backup into the existing model without losing object identities and relationships. If you are performing regular backups of the model, you can use this option to recover portions of the model from different versions, such as from yesterday's backup or last month's backup.

The intent of the Restore model for selective recovery of model objects option is to restore a model database into a site database where a current version of the model already exists. The restored model (which represents old data) will exist in the site database in parallel to the current model and will share the same catalog database. In this respect, users can open two sessions: one that points to the restored model and one that points to the current model, select items from the restored model to copy, and then use the paste and restore into the current model. This type of workflow allows for selective recovery of work from previous versions of the same model.

Restore Ship for Selective Recovery does not support selective recovery of marine and material handling model objects.

When using selective recovery, you should:

  • Recreate missing or bad design data from scratch.

  • Stop global workshare, distribute the best available backup set between the host and satellites, restore, and restart workshare.

Restores a copy of an entire model. You can use this option to restore a copy of a model that you have already restored to the site. The restored copy is a separate model.

Restoring a Smart 3D Change Management model from a backup clears SDx registration details as follows:

  • Restore one or more model databases from backup clears the AuthroizationCodeWithProofKey credentials.

  • Restore model for selective recovery of model objects clears all SDx registration details.

  • Restore model as copy clears all SDx registration details.

To recover your data, you must first re-register the restored model to the same SDx plant as was used for the previous SDx registration. After you re-register the restored Change Management model, you must define SDx retrieval settings.
