title: How to restore alfresco installation
body: <p>I previously Backed up folder. Here is how I did.</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>Stopped tomcat and postgres</li>
  <li>Copied C:/Alfresco to another machine in lan</li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>I then uninstalled Alfresco. Installed new alfresco and deleted the <code>C:/alfresco</code> folder and copied the old alfresco folder to it.</p>
  
  <p>Now when I start I am unable to see any contents in share. I am able to see the share header alone. The repository is empty (not even data dictionary or other default folder is visible)</p>
  
  <p>How to restore these ? Is the backup procedure correct. If not what is the correct way to backup? So I can restore in future?</p>
  
  <p>I am using Alfresco 4.2e and default installation</p>
