Restoring Data from a Backup
If the TSA fails, on restart it automatically restores data from its data directory, recreating the application state. If the current data files are corrupt or missing, or in other situations where an earlier snapshot of data is required, you can restore them from backups:
1. Shut down the Terracotta cluster.
2. (Optional) Make copies of any existing data files.
3. Delete the existing data files from your Terracotta servers.
4. Copy the backup data files to the directory from which you deleted the original (existing) data files.
5. Restart the Terracotta cluster.
