# Restore Categories, Taxonomies, and Cluster Jobs

You can restore backups of categories, taxonomies, and cluster jobs either by running a `RestoreServer` action, or by using the IDOL Admin interface.

To restore data from a backup by running an action

1. Send the `RestoreServer` action to the IDOL Category component. Set the `FileName` parameter to the name of the backup file that you want to restore from.

   NOTE:

   In a unified IDOL Server, you must send the `RestoreServer` action directly to the IDOL Category component (not to the default IDOL Proxy port).

   For example:

       http://localhost:9020/action=RestoreServer&FileName=C:\Backups\Category\mybackup.zip

2. Send the `CategorySyncCatDRE` action to synchronize the restored IDOL Category component with the IDOL Agentstore component. For example:

       http://localhost:9020/action=CategorySyncCatDRE

NOTE:

While the IDOL Category component is processing a `RestoreServer` action, you cannot run any category, cluster, or taxonomy actions.

To restore data from a backup by using IDOL Admin

- On the Category Backup/Restore tab in the Console page, click Restore.

  Category restores the category data from your most recent backup file, and displays a confirmation message. The Restore Action String field shows the action that is sent to IDOL Server.
