3.5 Restoring from a Previous Backup

Assuming you have a good simple backup, you can use these commands to restore the database and files. These commands also assume that you are not reverting back to a different code base.

NOTE: For some reason the admin guide does not understand, bench does not handle relative paths very well. Be sure to fully qualify all of the path’s you use for the bench restore command.

sudo su - erpnext
cd [bench name]
bench --force restore \
  --with-public-files /home/erpnext/[bench name]/sites/[site name]/private/backups/[files.tar] \
  --with-private-files /home/erpnext/[bench name]/sites/[site name]/private/backups/[private-files.tar] \
  /home/erpnext/[bench name]/sites/[site name]/private/backups/[sql.gz file]

This should bring your system’s database and files configuration back to the point in time the backup was taken.
