bench restore

Usage

bench restore [OPTIONS] SQL_FILE_PATH

Description

Bench CLI can be used to restore an existing site to a previous state. Using the bench restore command, a site may be restored with the specific database and file restores. Downgrades aren't supported for Frappe Sites; when a downgrade is detected, an interactive prompt will pop up before the site restore begins.

The least requirement for performing a restore operation is having the database file on your local filesystem. The specified path may be relative to the bench or sites folder, although absolute paths often work best.

The specified database backup file may have the sql.gz or sql extension. For public and private file backup archives, the default is tar, but since Version 13, compressed archives with the extension tgz are also supported.

Note: As of this point, there's no way to restore only files using this command.

Arguments

• SQL_FILE_PATH Path to the database source file. The path may be relative from the bench directory root, or the sites folder. It may also be an absolute path.

Options

• --db-root-username Root username for MariaDB or Postgres
• --db-root-password Root password for MariaDB or Postgres
• --db-name Database name for site in case it is a new one
• --admin-password Administrator password for new site
• --install-app Install app after installation
• --with-public-files Restores the public files of the site, given path to its archive file
• --with-private-files Restores the private files of the site, given path to its archive file

Flags

• --force Ignore the site downgrade warning, if applicable. This is not recommended unless you're fully aware of the consequences

Examples

1. Restore a site with files

    bench --site {site} restore {path/to/database/file}
        --with-public-files {path/to/public/archive}
        --with-private-files {path/to/private/archive}
   

2. Bypass DBMS root interactive prompt by passing values in options

   bench --site {site} restore {path/to/database/file}
      --db-root-username {db-user}
      --db-root-password {db-pass}
   

3. Specify new app to install after site restore

   bench --site {site} restore {path/to/database/file}
      --install-app {app}
   

4. Specify custom database name for the restored site

   bench --site {site} restore {path/to/database/file}
      --db-name {custom-db-name}
   

5. Reset the admin password for the restored site

   bench --site {site} restore {path/to/database/file}
      --admin-password {admin-pass}
