Restore a Completed Snapshot

To restore a snapshot, Ops Manager creates and displays a download link to the appropriate snapshot in the snapshot storage.

After clicking the download link, Ops Manager streams the snapshot to the target snapshot host.

1. The user selects a snapshot:

   • Through the Ops Manager application:

     1. Click on a snapshot.

     2. Submit their request.

   • Through the API:

     1. Find the cluster to restore.

     2. Create new Restore Job for that cluster.

2. Ops Manager creates a RestoreJob document.

3. Ops Manager sets the RestoreJob document status to Transferring... and starts streaming the snapshot in the requested format from the snapshot store to Ops Manager. Each Snapshot Store streams its snapshot components through Ops Manager:

   • A blockstore streams the blocks.

   • An S3 snapshot store streams the blocks.

4. With the status set to Waiting for Customer..., Ops Manager creates a URL.

5. The user clicks the get link link, then Download in the Ops Manager application to download the snapshot.
