SLV Backup - Restore | ERPC - Enhanced Solana RPC

♻️ Restore from Backup

Restore your node environment from a local backup file or directly from ERPC Global Storage.

Prerequisites

SLV CLI installed on the target node
sudo access (required for restoring system files)
For cloud restore: logged in (slv login) with an active storage subscription

Restore from a Local File

If you have a backup file on disk:

bash

sudo slv backup restore ./backup-mynode-20260318-120000.tar.zst

sudo slv backup restore ./backup-mynode-20260318-120000.tar.zst

Restore from ERPC Global Storage

If the backup was uploaded with --upload, you can restore by specifying the remote path:

bash

sudo slv backup restore backup-mynode-20260318-120000.tar.zst --region eu

sudo slv backup restore backup-mynode-20260318-120000.tar.zst --region eu

When the file is not found locally, SLV automatically downloads it from ERPC Global Storage before restoring.

Interactive Mode

Run without arguments to select interactively:

bash

sudo slv backup restore

sudo slv backup restore

SLV will list available backup files (local and remote) for you to choose from.

Options Reference

Option	Description
`-r, --region <region>`	Storage region for downloading remote backups
`-y, --yes`	Skip confirmation prompts

⚠️ Important Notes

Restore overwrites existing files. Make sure you are restoring to the correct node.
The backup is extracted to the root filesystem (/), restoring files to their original paths.
After restore, a reboot may be required for all changes to take effect.
System pseudo-filesystems (/dev, /proc, /sys) are excluded from backup and will not be affected.
