Restore the Metadata From the Metadata Store Backup

This topic describes how to restore the metadata store from a backup copy. For information about backing up the metadata store, see Back Up the Metadata Store.

Prior to restoring the metadata, ensure that the target PostgreSQL data store is clean.

To restore the metadata store:

1. From your terminal, SSH to your Composer server.

2. Stop all Composer microservices. For appropriate commands based on your OS, see Stop Composer Microservices.

3. Navigate to your backup directory and enter the following commands:

   sudo -u postgres psql zoomdata < zoomdata				
   sudo -u postgres psql zoomdata-upload < zoomdata-upload					
   sudo -u postgres psql zoomdata-keyset < zoomdata-keyset
   sudo -u postgres psql zoomdata-qe < zoomdata-qe			

4. Restart all Composer microservices. For appropriate commands based on your OS, see Restart Composer Microservices.
