> # Restore Directory Dialog

> Use this dialog box to restore your directory server from a previously created set of backup files. The Directory Server will be unavailable while it restores data from a backup.

> Caution | Restoring your directory overwrites any existing database files.

> Directory. This field shows the directory containing the backup files to be restored. Select one of the available backups below, or enter the full path of a directory containing a set of files from a valid backup of this server, or click Browse to find an existing directory. Note that the Browse button is disabled when managing Directory Server from a console on a different machine.

> Available backups. This drop-down menu lists all backups found in the default location:

> serverRoot/slapd-serverID/bak/

> where serverID is the name of your directory server. Select one of the backup directories from this list if you stored your backup in the default location. Default backup directory names contain the date in the following format: YYYY_MM_DD_hh_mm_ss.

> OK. Click OK to restore the backup located in the path shown in the Directory field.
