Restore a Database Backup from the Same Cluster

This page walks you through the process of restoring a database from a backup that was created from the same cluster.

Restoring a backup is an offline operation. Your database will be down for a short period of time during database restore.

1. Prerequisites

  • You have access to the TigerGraph Linux user account on your cluster. All commands must be run from the TigerGraph Linux user.

  • You have access to a backup that was created from the same cluster.

2. Procedure

To restore a backup, run the following command:

$ gadmin backup restore <backup_tag>

For example, if you want to restore a backup with the tag weekly-2022-08-31T004132, run gadmin backup restore weekly-2022-08-31T004132.

The restore operation cannot be canceled once started.
