Prevents PARestore from copying files to the Restored Safes folder on the Vault file system. A Safe cannot be restored without its corresponding metadata. For this option to work, the metadata must already have been uploaded to the Vault with a separate PARestore command. Only the Safe’s data files will be uploaded and restored, but not the metadata. Only the Safe’s metadata will be uploaded and restored, but not the external files. Therefore, this name must not correspond with an existing Safe. The restore process does not overwrite an existing Safe – it creates a new one. If the Safe was deleted after backup, create a Safe with the same name, and add the same Safe Owners that were assigned to the backed up Safe.

This Safe must exist in the backup files from which the restore is made, as well as in the Vault. The Pool Name must match the pool name specified in the backup process, so that you can distinguish between different backup sets. This is used when there are several backup sets for a Vault, or a number of clients used to backup the server.
#SAFENOTES RESTORE LOCAL BACKUP PASSWORD#
The pathname of a user credentials file containing an encrypted password that the utility will use to log on instead of a password. If the User issues this command without specifying the password and without specifying the /LogonFromFile parameter, the User is prompted for it before the command is carried out. The password of the User specified above. This User must have the ‘Restore All Safes’ authorization in the Vault. The name of the User issuing the command. By default, this file is called Vault.ini. The file containing all the information about the Vault and the Safes within it. This usage is explained in the following table and examples: Option

RestoreSafe safename /TargetSafe newname PARestore provides the following options: For more information, refer to Restore Safes or the Vault. Only Users with the ‘Restore All Safes’ authorization in the Vault can restore a Safe. After the metadata backup files are restored to the PrivateArk\Restored Safes\Metadata folder, a synchronization procedure will take place, after which users will be able to work with the files immediately.

The Safe data files are restored to the PrivateArk\Restored Safes folder in the same structure as that in which they were backed up. But this little loophole is definitely interesting and I will be checking it out.The PARestore utility enables you to restore Safes that have previously been either replicated or backed up to the Vault. As a graphic designer, I'm aware that pdfs are capable of containing the vector data, which is why it was so perplexing to me to find rasterized pixels on export. I didn't know Dropbox linked pdfs still contained the vector data.

It's unclear why this is the case, but as long as this keeps working, you do have access to the vector data. Note that PDFs that you get by going to "export" in the menu are rasterized, but the PDFs in Dropbox are still in vector format. In particular, I succeeded in grabbing raw stroke data from binary blobs as a proof of concept.Īlso, note that while the device does not export SVG directly, the PDFs that are synced to Dropbox can trivially be converted to SVGs using e.g. I spent some time poking around, and it seems that it would be pretty doable to reverse-engineer the file format and write converters to and from Xournal or SVG.

The zip file that you get from local backups is a dump of SQLite databases that are used to store notebook data.
