# RestoreServer

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

The DIH will only restore data from a backup if it has the same number of child engines and engine groups configured as it did when the backup was made.

Type: Synchronous

Parameter Name | Description
--- | ---
ActionID | A string to use to identify an ACI action.
Filename | The path of the directory that contains the backup files.
PreserveQueue | (Boolean, default `FALSE`) To keep the current index queue, rather than restoring the index queue from the backup, set this parameter to `TRUE`.

## Example

    http://host:port/action=RestoreServer&filename=./backups/20220211T102316_10.0.0.1_9070
