Hi all! Hope your day is going well!
It's finally the slow season at my company and I wanna jump into the long list of customization projects that have been put on hold. There's only one issue:
I can't get our information into any of the DB's I create through the Acumatica ERP Configuration Wizard due to the Snapshot being 6GB and the limit of 1.5 for restoring snapshots in the created DB.
I found this post from four years ago: https://community.acumatica.com/configuration-and-installation-114/import-snapshot-into-test-environment-6303?postid=128322#post128322
But I don't understand how I would Backup the DB and the Restore it this way due to not being familiar with those processes listed.
Could someone help with a more dumbed down version of how to get my Company's data into a sandbox instance? I don't care what method so long as it works reliably.
Delete as many snapshots as possible before making a new snapshot. Skip attachments if you don't need when you make a new snapshot.
I think from version 2024R2 on the max. limit was raised to about 5GB. Just Google it or use ChatGPT.

Ya, if you can't get the size down by deleting the snapshots or trying a different export mode (eg. without attachments), then you'll have to request a database backup unfortunately. You have to request it from Acumatica Support and it costs a few hundred dollars I think.
Thank you! I need to figure out why my logins and the default DB logins don't work on the sandbox I made, but I'm definitely further along!
