You can restore backup copies of databases on any ARIS Design Server. If an unauthorized user restores a backup file that was not encrypted on his LOCAL server, he has full access to the entire content of the database.
Currently, Java can only process files of up to a maximum of 4 GB safely. Thus, errors may occur with larger backup files (ADB) and during database recovery. If errors occur during backup or while restoring, please use the backup mechanism in your database management system (DBMS). Make sure that sufficient disk space is available for restoring large databases. This may exceed the memory requirements stated in the document ARIS System Requirements.
