- SYNOPSIS
gcloud firestore databases restore--destination-database=DESTINATION_DATABASE--source-backup=SOURCE_BACKUP[--tags=[KEY=VALUE,…]][--encryption-type=ENCRYPTION_TYPE:--kms-key-name=KMS_KEY_NAME][GCLOUD_WIDE_FLAG …]
- EXAMPLES
- To restore a database from a backup.
gcloudfirestoredatabasesrestore--source-backup=projects/PROJECT_ID/locations/LOCATION_ID/backups/BACKUP_ID--destination-database=DATABASE_IDTo restore a database from a backup with tags.
gcloudfirestoredatabasesrestore--source-backup=projects/PROJECT_ID/locations/LOCATION_ID/backups/BACKUP_ID--destination-database=DATABASE_ID--tags=key1=value1,key2=value2To restore to a CMEK-enabled database.
gcloudfirestoredatabasesrestore--source-backup=projects/PROJECT_ID/locations/LOCATION_ID/backups/BACKUP_ID--destination-database=DATABASE_ID--encryption-type=customer-managed-encryption--kms-key-name=projects/PROJECT_ID/locations/LOCATION_ID/keyRings/KEY_RING_ID/cryptoKeys/CRYPTO_KEY_ID - REQUIRED FLAGS
--destination-database=DESTINATION_DATABASE- Destination database to restore to. Destination database will be created in thesame location as the source backup.
This value should be 4-63 characters. Valid characters are /[a-z][0-9]-/ withfirst character a letter and the last a letter or a number. Must not beUUID-like /[0-9a-f]8(-[0-9a-f]4)3-[0-9a-f]12/.
Using "(default)" database ID is also allowed.
For example, to restore to database
testdb:gcloudfirestoredatabasesrestore--destination-database=testdb --source-backup=SOURCE_BACKUP- The source backup to restore from.
For example, to restore from backup
cf9f748a-7980-4703-b1a1-d1ffff591db0in us-east1:gcloudfirestoredatabasesrestore--source-backup=projects/PROJECT_ID/locations/us-east1/backups/cf9f748a-7980-4703-b1a1-d1ffff591db0
- OPTIONAL FLAGS
--tags=[KEY=VALUE,…]- Tags to attach to the destination database. Example:--tags=key1=value1,key2=value2
For example, to attach tags to a database:
$ --tags=key1=value1,key2=value2
- The encryption configuration of the new database being created from the backup.If not specified, the same encryption settings as the backup will be used.
To create a CMEK-enabled database:
gcloudfirestoredatabasesrestore--encryption-type=customer-managed-encryption--kms-key-name=projects/PROJECT_ID/locations/LOCATION_ID/keyRings/KEY_RING_ID/cryptoKeys/CRYPTO_KEY_IDTo create a Google-default-encrypted database:
gcloudfirestoredatabasesrestore--encryption-type=google-default-encryptionTo create a database using the same encryption settings as the backup:
gcloudfirestoredatabasesrestore--encryption-type=use-source-encryption--encryption-type=ENCRYPTION_TYPE- The encryption type of the destination database.
ENCRYPTION_TYPEmust be one of:use-source-encryption,customer-managed-encryption,google-default-encryption.This flag argument must be specified if any of the other arguments in this groupare specified.
--kms-key-name=KMS_KEY_NAME- The resource ID of a Cloud KMS key. If set, the database created will be aCustomer-Managed Encryption Key (CMEK) database encrypted with this key. Thisfeature is allowlist only in initial launch.
Only a key in the same location as this database is allowed to be used forencryption. For Firestore's nam5 multi-region, this corresponds to Cloud KMSlocation us. For Firestore's eur3 multi-region, this corresponds to Cloud KMSlocation europe. Seehttps://cloud.google.com/kms/docs/locations.
This value should be the KMS key resource ID in the format of
projects/{project_id}/locations/{kms_location}/keyRings/{key_ring}/cryptoKeys/{crypto_key}.How to retrieve this resource ID is listed athttps://cloud.google.com/kms/docs/getting-resource-ids#getting_the_id_for_a_key_and_version.This flag must only be specified when encryption-type iscustomer-managed-encryption.
