Restoring a backup to the DRS5000:
1. Insert the USB drive containing the backup archive into the DRS5000.
2. Select the DRS Recovery module and select Mount /media/usb0.
3. Select the Restore from Backup button.
4. In the dialog that opens, you can restore from the USB drive (Local Primary storage archive), from the local hard disk
(Local Secondary storage archive), or from an archive uploaded to the server (useful when restoring a
DRS5000 remotely).
5. Navigate to the backup file you wish to restore in the DRS_Recovery folder. Each archive will be a zip file with the
creation date as part of the file name. Select the file and click OK. Be sure the correct radio button is selected for the
location of the restore archive.
6. From the Select what to restore dropdown, choose Full system (the default), Conductor data only, or
Maestro data only, depending on your needs. Using Full system restore has stricter compatibility requirements.
7. Select the Restore button. The restore will take several minutes, during which nothing will be shown on the page.
When the restore is complete the screen will show the log and will initiate a reboot. After reboot, be sure to mount your
USB drive to continue backing up.

NOTE: When restoring an archive to the original DRS5000 where the backup was made, and using the Full system
setting, all your Conductor, Encore LUS, Maestro, and Webmin settings will be restored from the backup. In the case
of restoring to a new DRS5000, it is possible you may need to secure a new license key from FrontRow Customer
Service for the Encore LUS as it is tied to the DRS5000 hardware.
IMPORTANT: If you are upgrading from an Ubuntu 8 (32-bit) server, to an Ubuntu 14 (64-bit) server (white FrontRow
bezel) the process will only restore the Conductor, Maestro, and LUS data. The log will show that the system data
restore failed, which is normal since the system files on the DRS5000 are newer for the 64-bit system.
