> Hey guys, So I am migrating my samba DB from one machine to another. I have the Database Backups Module from the market. I have made a backup on the original machine, and now I am trying to restore it on the new machine. However, an error occurs during the process. I added the Everyone group to the permission settings for the backup file, but no luck. I don’t know if I need to change some permission/log-on settings for the SQL server or samba?

I think he’s referring to the fact he has developed his system in training mode, so when he leaves training mode all the development he has done disappears. He wants to be able to copy everything he has setup in training mode to work in non training mode without having to set it all up again manually.

Can that be done?

Training mode designed to make changes that will disappear / overwritten.

I thought that’d be the case @gsreddy looks like you’ll need to re-create everything in NON training mode

It is not a demo mode. It is training mode which is designed to disappear. You can set it up and then use the clear transactions option from database tools module. Or you can use a SQL script to clear the transactions.
