Restoring a Backup

Restore Firepanel configuration or Firestore data from a backup.

Note:

A restore only offers what that specific backup actually holds. Restoring Firestore data can overwrite current data and cannot be undone — make a new backup first if you want a safety net.

Restoring Configuration

1

Find the backup

In the backups list, locate the backup you want to restore and click Restore.

2

Choose what to restore

Toggle each configuration section you want restored: Content Types, Components, Messaging Configurations, Tags.

3

Confirm

Type the backup ID to confirm, then click Restore.

Restoring Firestore Data

1

Find the backup

In the backups list, locate a backup that includes Firestore data and click Restore.

2

Choose a write mode

  • Merge (default) — backed-up documents overwrite documents with the same ID in the target database; everything else is left untouched. Non-destructive.
  • Replace — wipes the target collections first, so the result is an exact replica of the backup. Destructive — requires confirming you understand data will be deleted.
3

Confirm

Type the backup ID to confirm, then click Restore. Progress is shown in the run panel.

Reindex After Restoring

If you use Full-Text Search, run a Reindex after restoring Firestore data so the search index reflects the restored data. The Reindex option is available in the Backups tab and in Search settings.
