# RestoreServer

The `RestoreServer` action restores a server’s state from a backup created by the BackupServer action.

You can use this action for the Content, Category, and Community components, but you must send the action to the component ACI port, rather than to the IDOL Proxy port.

NOTE: This is an administrative action that can be sent only by users that belong to an authorization role that allows the `Admin` standard role, or which enables the action explicitly. See Authorization Roles Configuration Parameters.

    http://localhost:9100/action=RestoreServer&FileName=C:/backups/filename.zip
