This article steps through how to restore a previous backup of your entire Streamtime system.
Log Into Admin Console
Find out where your Streamtime is being hosted, this could be either a server or just a computer on your network.
Once you know what computer is being used you then need to find the FileMaker server Admin Console. This is usually found on the Desktop and may be in the form of either an Internet page or the above .webloc page.
If you cannot find either one of these icons there are other ways to get into the admin Console
1. Open a web page and type in http://Localhost:16001
2. Is to Type in the server IP address, adding :16001 to the end of the IP address. For example: http://XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX:16001.
