# Consul Snapshot Restore
|
|
|
|
Command: `consul snapshot restore`
|
|
|
|
The `snapshot restore` command is used to restore an atomic, point-in-time
|
|
snapshot of the state of the Consul servers which includes key/value entries,
|
|
service catalog, prepared queries, sessions, and ACLs. The snapshot is read
|
|
from the given file.
|
|
|
|
Restores involve a potentially dangerous low-level Raft operation that is not
|
|
designed to handle server failures during a restore. This command is primarily
|
|
intended to be used when recovering from a disaster, restoring into a fresh
|
|
cluster of Consul servers.
|
|
|
|
If ACLs are enabled, a management token must be supplied in order to perform
|
|
snapshot a snapshot save.
|
|
|
|
## Usage

|
|
Usage: `consul snapshot restore [options] FILE`
