Restore

Restoring your backup is easy with a few commands.

Local Database

1. On the Eppalock Dashboard, there's a list of all your backups. Each backup has a 'view' action, click view to open your backup on AWS.

2. Download your backup from AWS - it will be an encrypted file, with the extension .dump.enc.

3. Decrypt your backup with the following command (replacing YOUR_FILENAME and YOUR_ENCRYPTION_KEY - click here to find your encryption key):

   openssl enc -d -aes-256-cbc -in YOUR_FILENAME.dump.enc -out YOUR_FILENAME.dump -pass pass:YOUR_ENCRYPTION_KEY

4. Create a local database if you don't have one already:

   createdb -U postgres eppalock_restore

5. Restore your decrypted backup to a local database with the following command:

   pg_restore -U username -d dbname -1 YOUR_FILENAME.dump -vxOW

Heroku Database
