## vmrestore
`vmrestore` restores data from backups created by [vmbackup](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/blob/master/app/vmbackup/README.md).
VictoriaMetrics `v1.28.4` and newer versions must be used for working with the restored data.
Restore process can be interrupted at any time. It is automatically resumed from the inerruption point
when restarting `vmrestore` with the same args.
### Usage
VictoriaMetrics must be stopped during the restore process.
```
vmrestore -src=gcs://<bucket>/<path/to/backup> -storageDataPath=<local/path/to/restore>
```
* `<bucket>` is [GCS bucket](https://cloud.google.com/storage/docs/creating-buckets) name.
* `<path/to/backup>` is the path to backup made with [vmbackup](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/blob/master/app/vmbackup/README.md) on GCS bucket.
* `<local/path/to/restore>` is the path to folder where data will be restored. This folder must be passed
to VictoriaMetrics in `-storageDataPath` command-line flag after the restore process is complete.
The original `-storageDataPath` directory may contain old files. They will be susbstituted by the files from backup.
### Advanced usage
Run `vmrestore -help` in order to see all the available options:
```
vmrestore restores VictoriaMetrics data from backups made by vmbackup.
See the docs at https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/blob/master/app/vmrestore/README.md .
-concurrency int
The number of concurrent workers. Higher concurrency may reduce restore duration (default 10)
-configFilePath string
Path to file with S3 configs. Configs are loaded from default location if not set.
See https://docs.aws.amazon.com/general/latest/gr/aws-security-credentials.html
-credsFilePath string
Path to file with GCS or S3 credentials. Credentials are loaded from default locations if not set.
See https://cloud.google.com/iam/docs/creating-managing-service-account-keys and https://docs.aws.amazon.com/general/latest/gr/aws-security-credentials.html
-loggerLevel string
Minimum level of errors to log. Possible values: INFO, ERROR, FATAL, PANIC (default "INFO")
-memory.allowedPercent float
Allowed percent of system memory VictoriaMetrics caches may occupy (default 60)
-src string
Source path with backup on the remote storage. Example: gcs://bucket/path/to/backup/dir, s3://bucket/path/to/backup/dir or fs:///path/to/local/backup/dir
-storageDataPath string
Destination path where backup must be restored. VictoriaMetrics must be stopped when restoring from backup. -storageDataPath dir can be non-empty. In this case only missing data is downloaded from backup (default "victoria-metrics-data")
-version
Show VictoriaMetrics version
```
### How to build from sources
It is recommended using [binary releases](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/releases) - see `vmutils-*` archives there.
#### Development build
1. [Install Go](https://golang.org/doc/install). The minimum supported version is Go 1.12.
2. Run `make vmrestore` from the root folder of the repository.
It builds `vmrestore` binary and puts it into the `bin` folder.
#### Production build
1. [Install docker](https://docs.docker.com/install/).
2. Run `make vmrestore-prod` from the root folder of the repository.
It builds `vmrestore-prod` binary and puts it into the `bin` folder.
#### Building docker images
Run `make package-vmrestore`. It builds `victoriametrics/vmrestore:<PKG_TAG>` docker image locally.
`<PKG_TAG>` is auto-generated image tag, which depends on source code in the repository.
The `<PKG_TAG>` may be manually set via `PKG_TAG=foobar make package-vmrestore`.
