Project Restoration in DSS

SIAESDSI

If a user accidentally deletes their project, I can restore it from a backup of the DSS filesystem tree.

Should I also restore the PostgreSQL database? What is its purpose?

Hi @SIAESDSI,

The PostgreSQL database primarily stores structured metadata and configuration, while the filesystem contains actual project data files, models, and scripts. You do not necessarily have to restore the entire PostgreSQL database unless there is corruption or loss of metadata integrity.

If your organization is leveraging Dataiku on Cloud Stacks, you can roll back to the last snapshot. https://doc.dataiku.com/dss/latest/installation/cloudstacks-aws/dss-backup.html
