+== Recreate databases using a procedure
+
+Neo4j 5.24 introduces the xref:reference/procedures.adoc#procedure_dbms_cluster_recreateDatabase[`dbms.cluster.recreateDatabase()`] procedure, which allows you:
+
+* To restore a database store to a specified backup, while keeping all the users and roles (metadata) for the database.
+
+* To restore a database to a write mode again after it has been lost (for example, due to a disaster).
+See xref:clustering/disaster-recovery.adoc[] for more information.
+
+[CAUTION]
+====
+The recreate procedure works only for real user databases and not for composite databases, or the `system` database.
+
+Keep in mind the recreate procedure results in downtime while the stores get updated.
+The time is unbounded and may depend on the store size and network speed.
+
+The recreate procedure selects the most up-to-date seed from the defined seeding servers.
+If only a subset of the previous cluster members is specified as seeders, there is a risk of data loss.
+To avoid this, ensure you back up the current store before replacing it with a seed from a URI, so the latest state can be restored if needed.
+====
+
+The database in question can be in an `online` or `offline` state when it is recreated, but a successful operation starts the database regardless of the previous state.
+
+If CDC is enabled for the database, it will still be enabled after recreating the database, however the chain will be broken.
+See link:https://neo4j.com/docs/cdc/current/[CDC documentation] for more details.
+
+Before recreating a database, any eventual quarantined states need to be addressed.
+For more information, refer to the quarantined state documentation.
+
+You need xref:authentication-authorization/dbms-administration.adoc#access-control-dbms-administration-database-management[the DBMS `DATABASE MANAGEMENT` privileges] to run the recreate procedure. 
+
+[[recreate-seeding-options]]
+=== Seeding options and configurations
+
+The store to be used during the recreation can be defined in three different ways.
+One method uses a backup, while the two others use available allocations in the cluster.
+
+Additionally, you have the option to modify <<alter-topology-recreate, the topology>> during the recreation process.
+However, note that the store format, access, and enrichment cannot be altered during recreation.
+
+[[uri-seed]]
+==== `seedURI`
+
+If you provide a URI to a backup or a dump, the stores on all allocations will be replaced by the backup or the dump at the given URI.
+The new allocations can be put on any `ENABLED` server in the cluster.
+See <<cluster-seed-uri, Seed from URI>> for more details.
+
+[source, shell]
+----
+CALL dbms.cluster.recreateDatabase("neo4j", {seedURI: "myBackup"});
+----
+
+[[seed-servers]]
+==== `seedingServers`
+
+Specify a set of available servers.
+The stores on all allocations will be synchronized to the most up-to-date store from the defined servers.
+The number of defined servers cannot exceed the number of total allocations in the desired topology. 
+
+[source, shell]
+----
+CALL dbms.cluster.recreateDatabase("neo4j", {seedingServers: ["serverId1", "serverId2", "serverId3"]});
+----
+
+[[undefined-servers]]
+==== Undefined servers
+
+If you provide an empty list of seeding servers or do not specify a `seedURI`, Neo4j automatically selects all available allocations of the database as seeders.
+The store will be replaced by the most up-to-date seeder available in the cluster.
+
+[source, shell]
+----
+CALL dbms.cluster.recreateDatabase("neo4j", {seedingServers: []});
+----
+
+[[undefined-servers-backup]]
+===== Undefined servers with fallback backup
+
+If both an empty list of seeding servers and a `seedURI` are provided, the system finds all available allocations of the database and use those as seeders.
+However, if no available servers can be found, the database is recreated based on the backup or the dump defined by the URI.
+This means the store is replaced by the most up-to-date seeder if available; otherwise, the backup is used.
+
+[source, shell]
+----
+CALL dbms.cluster.recreateDatabase("neo4j", {seedingServers: [], seedURI: "myBackup"});
+----
+
+[[alter-topology-recreate]]
+=== Change the topology
+
+There is an option to define a new topology when recreating a database.
+This can be beneficial during a disaster, if enough servers are not available to recreate the database with the original topology.
+When altering the total number of allocations down during a recreation, it is important to remember that the number of seeding servers cannot exceed the number of total allocations of the database.
+This also holds true when using recreate with an empty list of seeders.
+If there are more available servers in the cluster hosting the database than the number of new allocations, the recreation will fail. 
+
+[source, shell]
+----
+CALL dbms.cluster.recreateDatabase("neo4j", {seedingServers: [], primaries: 3, secondaries: 0});
+----
