Restoring a Backup
Loading a backup safely, with comparison and progress tracking.

Compare first
/backup compare backup_idShows exactly what's different between your server's current state and the backup — what would be added, changed, or removed if you restored it. Always run this before /backup load.
Restore a backup
/backup load backup_idRestores the backup to your server. Because this can change or remove existing channels, roles, and permissions, Lumière will ask for confirmation before making any changes.
Restoring is not fully reversible. If you want a safety net, create a fresh backup of your current state with /backup create before restoring an older one.
Check progress
/backup statusRestores on larger servers can take a little time. This shows you how far along the current restore is.
Cancel a restore
/backup cancelStops a restore that's currently in progress. Depending on how far along it was, your server may be left partway between its old and new state — check /backup compare afterward to see exactly where things stand.
