Restoring Backups
This section guides you to the restore processes in Motadata AIOps. It highlights the key components and concepts that you'll encounter throughout this module. Restoration of backups is essential for system recovery in the event of data loss or issues.
Restoration of backups is based on the local copies created using Backup Profiles. The system retains specific versions of backups based on the retention settings configured in the Backup Profile.
We can restore the configuration database (config db) and report database (report db) based on the local backups created using Backup Profiles. You can restore the config db from the Health screen in Motadata AIOps. For Report db, restoration should be done manually.

How to Restore the Config db Backup file?
The Backup files are available on the health screen. You can restore the config db using the files available on the health screen. Navigate to the backup file you want to restore. Select the check-box against the file and click on the Restore button.
Enter the backup password that you configured in the Storage Profile. Click on Confirm after you enter the password. The backup restoration will start after this.
While restoring ConfigDB backup, you will not be able to access Motadata AIOps UI and all monitoring activity will be stopped. Restoration time will depend on your ConfigDB size. You may have data loss if you will restore older backup file.
For Backup restoration, ensure that the backup file is compatible with the current Motadata AIOps version.
Once the restoration is completed, you will be redirected to the Motadata AIOps UI.
