Introduction

The restore backup command allows you to restore a previously created backup to your Discord server. This will recreate all backed-up server settings, roles, channels, and optionally messages based on the backup's contents.

Usage

This command can be used by users with the "backup.restore" permission by running /backups restore

Steps to restore a backup

Get your backup ID

Use /backups list to find the ID of the backup you want to restore

Run the restore command

Use /backups restore backup_id:(your backup id) with any desired options

Wait for completion

The restore process may take a few minutes depending on the backup size

Verify the restoration

Check that all channels, roles, and settings have been restored as expected

Important Notes

Make sure you have the necessary permissions in the server before attempting to restore
If the backup is password protected, you'll need to provide the correct password
Consider using the selective restore options (channels_only, roles_only, settings_only) if you only want to restore specific parts
Be careful with the delete_channels and delete_roles options as they will remove existing server content
Some elements like server boosting status and server-specific emoji may not be included in the backup
