# Overview While this guide is focused on customers of SnapShooter, it will work for any snapshot or backup taken inside your DigitalOcean account. When restoring a droplet to a backup/snapshot you will erase all data currently on the machine, you can always take a snapshot before you start a recovery process # 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 It's advised to do a manual SnapShot before attempting a recovery 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
