Backups and restores1 min readUpdated

Restore files, databases or both

Pick a night and what to restore. The NAS delivers it, a safety copy is taken first and the store is rebuilt.

Restores are done from the Backups tab, per application. You choose the night and what to bring back: everything, the files only or the databases only.

Backups, then the Databases and Access tabs where restored data and downloads show up.
  1. Open Backups and find the application

    Each application lists its restore points (one per night, up to 7).

  2. Choose the night

    Pick the last good night: before the bad change, the deleted product or the infection.

  3. Choose whatFiles and databases, Files only or Databases only.
  4. Press Restore

    The NAS delivers the restore point to the server, usually within minutes. A safety copy of the current database is taken first. Then the files and/or databases are put back.

  5. Check the store

    Magento code is rebuilt (compile and static content) into a new release, and caches are flushed.

Night and What, then Restore. Recent requests are listed under the buttons with their state.
Night and What, then Restore. Recent requests are listed under the buttons with their state.

Which option?

SituationRestore
A deploy or extension broke the storeFiles only (orders since then are kept)
Products or settings deleted by mistakeDatabases only, or download the database and copy the rows you need
Store hackedFiles only from before the infection, then clean the database (see hacked store)
Everything is brokenFiles and databases

Restoring a database replaces it completely: orders, customers and changes made after that night are gone. When in doubt, download the database first and restore only what you need, or ask us.
