## Restoring a backup

Backups can be restored either in the running container, or through an environment variable.
Backups can be restored either in the running container, or through an environment variable. The existing database data must be removed before restoring a backup. You can do this using the following command:

```sh
rm data/db/virtuoso.{db,trx,pxa} data/db/virtuoso-temp.db data/db/.data_loaded data/db/.dba_pwd_set data/db/.backup_restored
```

Caveat: The following commands mention `backup_` as the base prefix for the backups, this is the whole filename up to (but not including) the ending number and filename extension. Eg: for a backup including the file `virtuoso_backup_240822T0200-101.bp`, the prefix is `virtuoso_backup_240822T0200-`.
