Hi Jon, There should be a viable backup that was used to send to the secondary system from the last automated online backup unless something happened to it in the meantime. If the file is still there, reload the database from the control panel and initialize the database when that question pops up. Once it reloads the database successfully you should be able to start the Spectroserver normally. Make SURE you are talking to the primary system! If the primary's backup database is damaged or missing you can try this: (I've never tried this but it should work) On the secondary system do an online backup (via OneClick). When that is finished you can FTP the backed up database to the primary server putting it in the same directory that the normal online backups are going (default is the SS-DB-Backup directory or something close to that). Then reload the database on the primary system via the control panel. Say yes to the initialize question. Once reloaded you should be able to restart SpectroSERVER via the control panel.
If for some reason you can't make the secondary do an online database save you will need to stop the secondary SpectroSERVER then manually do the backup with the command line utility SSDbsave located in the SS-Tools directory. Then FTP the resultant save to the primary and reload it there. I hope some of this helps!
