Command: waypoint server restore

Stage a snapshot on the current server for data restoration

Usage

Usage: waypoint server restore [-exit] [<filename>]

Stage a backup snapshot within the current server. The data in the snapshot is not restored immediately, but rather staged such that on the next server start, it will be restored.

If -exit is passed, the server process will exit after staging the data. This allows a process monitor to restart the server, where it will see the staged snapshot and restore the data.

If -exit is not passed, an operator must restart the server manually to finish the restoration process.

The argument should be to a file written previously by 'waypoint server snapshot'. If no name is specified and standard input is not a terminal, the backup will read from standard input. Using a name of '-' will force reading from standard input.

Global Options

-workspace=<string> (-w) - Workspace to operate in.

Command Options

-exit - After restoring, the server should exit so it can be restarted. The default is false.
