Restoring an appliance user database

The Restore Appliance User Database tool restores a previously-saved user configuration database
from the system running AVWorks software to the appliance. The database file may be restored to
either the appliance from which it was saved or to another appliance of the same type. This
eliminates the need to manually configure users on a new appliance.
