RestoreSnapshot()

Addedv3.0.x

This operation restores a snapshot to a target collection. The restore runs asynchronously — use GetRestoreSnapshotState() to monitor progress.

func (c *Client) RestoreSnapshot(ctx context.Context, opt RestoreSnapshotOption, callOptions ...grpc.CallOption) (int64, error)

Request Syntax

option := client.NewRestoreSnapshotOption(snapshotName, collectionName, targetCollectionName).
    WithDbName(dbName string).
    WithTargetDbName(targetDbName string)

jobID, err := client.RestoreSnapshot(option)

PARAMETERS:

• snapshotName (string) -

  The name of the snapshot to restore.

• collectionName (string) -

  The name of the source collection the snapshot was taken from.

• targetCollectionName (string) -

  The name for the restored collection. This must differ from the source collection name.

BUILDER METHODS:

• WithDbName(dbName string)

  This sets the source database name. If not set, the default database is used.

• WithTargetDbName(targetDbName string)

  This sets the target database name for the restored collection. If not set, the source database is used.

RETURN TYPE:

int64, error

RETURNS:

The restore job ID. Use this ID with GetRestoreSnapshotState() to track the restore progress. Returns an error if the snapshot does not exist or the operation fails.

EXCEPTIONS:

• error

  Check err != nil for failure details.

Example

import (
	"context"
	"fmt"

	"github.com/milvus-io/milvus/client/v2/milvusclient"
)

ctx, cancel := context.WithCancel(context.Background())
defer cancel()

milvusAddr := "YOUR_CLUSTER_ENDPOINT"

cli, err := milvusclient.New(ctx, &milvusclient.ClientConfig{
	Address: milvusAddr,
})
if err != nil {
	log.Fatal(err)
}

defer cli.Close(ctx)

option := milvusclient.NewRestoreSnapshotOption("backup_20260418", "my_collection", "restored_collection")

jobID, err := cli.RestoreSnapshot(ctx, option)
if err != nil {
	// handle error
}

fmt.Printf("Restore job started: %d\n", jobID)
