6. Copy the output file created by the utility to a place where it can be read by the DSS 5
server. The settings output file will have a file name in the format:
DssBackup_YYYYMMDD_HHMMSS.dss.
7. Restore the settings gathered from the older version of DSS using the standard restore
capability built into DSS 5. The restore process can be accessed from the General tab
within the DSS Configuration Utility.
A note on the DSS 5 Restore Functionality
The DSS 5 restore operation allows for the restore of all settings in the settings file or just some of the
settings. For example, all the settings other than the device list can be restored. Also, for settings that
are lists such as folders, templates, and workflows, the restored settings can either replace the current
settings or be merged with the current settings in the list. See the System Administrators Guide for
more detail.
