Hi Daan, Thankyou for your reply
As you said if I have to restore an entire database and the assetstore, it depends whether the thumbnail have been generated before taking the backup, or if thumbnail were generated then no need to regenerate the thumbnail from the scratch(I may not be correct, if any information I have given is wrong please correct). As I wanted to know is that when I keep for generating thumbnail, why it starts from scratch(but the generated thumbnail gets skipped anyways) I thought is there any other method where already generated thumbnails does not get read and only generates the required(means which does not have thumbnails) Regards Sai Kumar S On Tue, 11 Jun 2024, 11:06 am Daan Lessing, <[email protected]> wrote: > Good morning, > > Just a follow-up question on this.
