# Overview

While this guide is focused on customers of SnapShooter, it will work for any snapshot or backup taken inside your DigitalOcean account.

# Locate Backup Name

Before you start you need to find your backup name, if you are using DigitalOcean Weekly backups, you don't need todo this step.recovery

• Log in to SnapShooter
• Find your droplet
• View the Snapshots Table
  • Find the SnapShot you wish to recovery
  • 
  • Copy the name
• Press view in DigitalOcean Button
  • 
  • If the link does not work, make sure you're in the correct team

# Restoring

In our example, we are going to try and restore to 2020-01-18 10:00:09

• Login to DigitalOcean
• Find your Droplet
• On the sidebar select Destroy (Don't worry we are not going to destroy it)
  • 
• In the Rebuild Droplet Box paste in the SnapShot name (in our case 2020-01-18 10:00:09)
  • 
  • The 'Created from' should match the name of the droplet
• Press Rebuild
• You will be asked to confirm
  • 
  • Press
• Wait for Rebuild Process
  • The process is dependant on the size of the droplet snapshot, and can be slow. The process bar in DigitalOcean is not very helpful for estimating time
  • The server should boot once completed
