Support FAQ Backup and Restore

Backup and Restore

Protect indexes and project context across drive moves, reinstalls, and device replacement.

Treat backup as an operational habit: protect both source media and FinDIT index context so recovery does not interrupt delivery.

What to Back Up

  • Source media folders and project selects should follow your normal backup policy.
  • Keep FinDIT index-related metadata snapshots for active productions.
  • Store export artifacts and handoff files in a versioned project location.

Restore Playbook

  • Mount replacement drive first, then validate folder path consistency.
  • Re-open FinDIT library and let it reconcile portable indexes before re-indexing.
  • Run a known query set to verify result quality after restoration.
