The influxd restore command restores backup data and metadata from an InfluxDB backup directory.
{{% warn %}}
Shut down the influxd server before restoring data.
{{% /warn %}}
The restore process
When restoring data from a backup file set, InfluxDB temporarily moves existing
data and metadata while restore runs.
After restore completes, the temporary data is deleted.
If the restore process fails, InfluxDB preserves the data in the temporary location.
For information about recovering from a failed restore process, see
Restore data.
By default, restore rebuilds the index and series file using the default options
for influxd inspect build-tsi.
To customize the build-tsi performance options,
include --rebuild-index false with influxd restore, then manually run influxd inspect build-tsi.
