Revert A Failed Upgrade
This article will go over the correct procedure to revert an upgrade.
Because we take a backup of the SQL database and Clubspeed files before we actually run an upgrade, the reverting process is very simple.
1. Reattach the previous database
- Open and connect to SQL Server Management Studio
- Right-click on the database you are restoring the backup to
- Expand Tasks
- Expand Restore
- select Database...
- Under the Source section, select the Device radio button
- Press the ... button under the Source section
- Browse to where you saved the backup (.bak) file and select it
- Under the restore plan section, ensure the check box is selected next to the backup
- Select the Options tab on the left
- Ensure the following boxes are checked:
- Under the Restore Options section, Overwrite the existing database (WITH REPLACE)
- Under the Server Connections section, Close existing connection to destination database
- Select the General tab on the left
- Select OK
- You should see in the bottom left corner of the window a progress section that will tell you a % of how far along the database restore is.
2. Copy the original files before the upgrade
- Stop the main engine
- Navigate to the CSBack folder
- Copy all the previously copied files that were a part of the Clubspeed folder
- paste and overwrite all the files into the main Clubspeed folder
