==========

To recover from a backup, first ensure these external services are running correctly and contain the desired data:

- LDAP (for authentication services or LDAP addressbooks)
- imap (for email)
- SQL Database
- Web Server configuration and certificates
- Virtual Filesystem tree (if not stored into a database)

--------------------------------------
 Recovering the software installation
--------------------------------------

- Clone the root project using git
- Copy your composer.json and composer.lock files from the backup into the root project
- Copy your var/config folder from the backup into the root project
- Adjust file ownership if needed

------------------------------------------
 Re-installing the current software state
------------------------------------------

::

 composer install

Composer tracks the exact versions in the composer.lock file and reinstalls the same set of versions
