# Consul Snapshot Restore
|
|
|
|
Command: `consul snapshot restore`
|
|
|
|
Corresponding HTTP API Endpoint: [\[PUT\] /v1/snapshot](/api-docs/snapshot#restore-snapshot)
|
|
|
|
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 running the same version as the cluster from where the
|
|
snapshot was taken.
|
|
|
|
The table below shows this command's [required ACLs](/api#authentication). Configuration of
|
|
[blocking queries](/api-docs/features/blocking) and [agent caching](/api-docs/features/caching)
|
|
are not supported from commands, but may be from the corresponding HTTP endpoint.
