Restoration of a backup is done by creating a new service and pushing the backup data to this new service. This full process is called forking and is fully automated. Once this process is done, you will have two independent service running, the one from which the backup comes from, and a new one on which the backup data has been imported.

## Instructions

37
### Step 1: Select the database service you want to restore data from
38
+
37
39
First you need to go on the overview page of the service you want to restore the backup from.
Select the backup from which you want to restore from. To help you choose, observe the dates at which the backups have been performed in the "Creation date" column.
48
52
Click on the `...`{.action} button corresponding to the chosen backup. Then click on `Duplicate (Fork)`{.action} to go on the configuration page of the new service.

> The MongoDB service has the option to restore a backup in place, meaning restoring the backup on the same service. This option will rollback ALL data to the state it was in when the backup was done. This can induce data loss.

### Step 4: Configure the target service
60
+
57
61
As seen before, when restoring a backup you create a new separate database service on which the backup data will be imported. You are able to configure this new service as you wish.
58
-
#### Engine
59
-
For obvious reasons, you can not change the engine, this option is greyed. Same goes for the engine version, you will be able to update engine version once the new service is running.

66

67
+
The region is not modifiable as well, your new service will be on the same region as the old one.
68
+
69
+
You will find a reminder of all these options in the order summary.
You have to choose a restore point from which the service will be duplicated.
76
+
77
+
##### **Backup**
78
+
79

The most common option is to restore from a backup.

81

82

##### **Specific date and latest**
84
+
85
+
If your service supports point in time recovery (see the [Automated Backup guide](https://docs.ovh.com/de/publiccloud/databases/backups/) for more details), you will also be offered the option to restore from a specific date and time.
86
+
87

#### Plan
94

When restoring a backup you can select another service plan.
You can choose to upgrade the node to a bigger flavor.
72

73
-
#### Nodes
74
-
You are able to change the node flavor of the service. Please note that the selection is restricted, depending on backup size. You can't restore a 400 GB data set on a node with only 320 GB of disk space.
Now click on `Create a database service`{.action} and the new service will be created. Please note that depending on the backup size it can take some time before the service is available.
123
+
Now click on `Create a fork`{.action} and the new service will be created. Please note that depending on the backup size it can take some time before the service is available.
85
124

125
### Step 5: Wait for service creation
126
+
87
127
You now just have to wait for your service to be ready.
88
128
This new service is now completly independent from the one you forked the backup from. You can safely delete the old service without impacting the new one.
89
129
90
130
> [!warning]
91
131
> The newly created service does not duplicate IP restrictions nor users which were created on the old service. You will have to recreate those before using your new service.
