Restore an Aiven for OpenSearch® backup

Restore an Aiven for OpenSearch® service from an automatic backup by forking it to a new service.

Aiven for OpenSearch services are backed up automatically. Depending on your service plan, you can restore a backup from a specific day or hour. For the backup history that each plan keeps, see High availability in Aiven for OpenSearch®.

To restore a backup:

  1. In your service, in the Backups section, click Backup management.
  2. Click Fork service.
  3. In the New database fork window, select the backup to fork from.
  4. Enter a name, and select the cloud and plan.
  5. Click Create fork.

Once the new service is running, change your application's connection settings to point to it and power off the original service.
