# 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 Knowledge Discovery interface.

To restore data from a backup by running an action

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

   NOTE: In a unified configuration, you must send the RestoreServer action directly to the Category component (not to the default Proxy component port).

   For example:

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

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

       http://localhost:9020/action=CategorySyncCatDRE

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

To restore data from a backup by using Knowledge Discovery 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 Category.
