Note

Restore is a non-destructive process, ensuring that none of the restored packages are deleted from the Archive Artifactory Instance.

To restore the archived packages, follow these steps: 

  1. Search Archived Packages 

  2. From the list of Search Archived Packages results, do one of the following:

    The following table describes the criteria for Original Location and New Location.

    Field

    Description

    Original Location

    Restore to the original repository where the items were located before archiving.

    Fallback Location

    If the Original Location is selected, it is mandatory to provide a Fallback Location. If the Original Location no longer exists, the Fallback Location is used as the location for restoring packages.

    Note

    • Before providing the Fallback Location, ensure that the path already exists.

    • If you are restoring packages, we recommend assigning a Fallback Location that is the same package type as the restored package.

    New Location

    Restore to a new location

    Note

    • Before providing the New Location, ensure that the path already exists.

    • If you are restoring packages, JFrog recommends assigning a New Location that is the same package type as the restored package.

    • Single Package Restoration 

      1. Locate the package you want to restore, and then click Restore icon.

      2. Select Original Location or New Location, enter the repository name, and then click Restore.

      2. Select Original Location or New Location, enter the repository name, and then click Restore.

    Note

    • The restoration process duration depends on the number and size of the packages, ranging from a few minutes to several hours.

    • If an error occurs during the restoration, the process will fail, and the error details will be logged.

    • The default maximum number of artifacts that can be restored in a single run is 10,000.

      Note

      If the number of artifacts (across selected packages) exceeds 10,000  limit, the restore process terminates (Restoration does not happen). The reason for termination will be logged. Carry out the restore operation again and make sure that the number of artifacts are less than the defined limit.
