edgedb restore
Restore an EdgeDB branch (or database pre-v5) from a backup file.
edgedb restore [options] pathDescription
edgedb restore is a terminal command used to restore an EdgeDB database
branch (or database pre-v5) from a backup file. The backup is restored to the
currently active branch (or to the currently connected database pre-v5).
The backup cannot be restored to a branch (or database pre-v5) with any existing schema. As a result, you should restore to one of these targets:
-
a new empty branch which can be created using edgedb branch create with the
--emptyoption -
a new empty database if your instance is running EdgeDB versions prior to 5
-
an existing branch or database that has been wiped with the appropriate
wipecommand (either edgedb branch wipe or edgedb database wipe; note that this will destroy all data and schema currently in that branch/database)
Options
The restore command restores the backup file into the active branch or, in
pre-v5 instance, the currently connected database. For specifying the
connection target see connection options.
