As like RDBMS, OrientDB also supports restoring operation. Only from the console mode, you can execute this operation successfully.

The following statement is the basic syntax for restoring operation.

orientdb> RESTORE DATABSE <url of the backup zip file>

Example

You have to perform this operation only from the console mode. Therefore, first you have to start the OrientDB console using the following OrientDB command.

$ orientdb

Then, connect to the respective database to restore the backup. You can use the following command to connect to the database named demo.

orientdb> CONNECT PLOCAL:/opt/orientdb/databases/demo admin admin

After successful connection, you can use the following command to restore the backup from ‘backup-demo.zip’ file. Before executing, make sure the backup-demo.zip file is placed in the current directory.

Orientdb {db = demo}> RESTORE DATABASE backup-demo.zip

If this command is executed successfully, you will get some success notifications along with the following message.

Database restored in 0.26 seconds
