Overview

If you used the Archive function to save costs on a dormant project, you can resurrect it exactly as it was using the Restore flow.

Step-by-Step Guide

  1. Navigate to the Backups section in the main sidebar.
  2. Select the Server Archives tab.
  3. Locate the archive you wish to restore.
  4. Click Restore as New Server.
  5. You will be taken to the Provisioning screen. Select your Cloud Provider and Region.
  6. Click Provision & Restore.

Autonomous Restoration

CloudAIPilot will provision a fresh VM and use the background agent to pull the snapshot from your secure vault. It will seamlessly restore the database configurations, Docker containers, and Nginx routing. The IP address of the server *will* change, so you must update your DNS records.
