Restoring Decisions from SQL backup

[font=Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Just a quick general knowledge question. If I have a SQL back-up, is that all I need to completely restore an instance of Decisions?[/font]

[font=Roboto, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Most of the time, a database backup is enough. It is also good to move the contents of the old servers filestoragelocation directory (found in settings.xml) into the new servers filestoragelocation and to install any custom modules if there were any in the old server. Additionally, when the new Decisions server is started with the restored database, any scheduled jobs will be disabled, and there will be a system validation warning stating the server has been restored from backup. There should be a file in the old servers Decisions directory at C:Program FilesDecisionsDecisions Services ManagerInstancesControl named databaseid.txt. This file contains a single GUID that should be identical for both the old and new servers. If the new server doesnt have this file, it can be created with a pasted value from the old server.[/font]
Howdy, Stranger!
