Questions

What new items will be lost after a database restore?

The following new items will be lost: -

  • changes / reviews
  • groups
  • dashboards

What happens to new reviews after a restore?

New review are lost if the database is restored as they are stored in the database after it was backed up.

What happen to new repos after a restore?

New repos are picked-up by the reindexing of gerrit. However if the database is restored their reviews will be lost.

Is it possible to restore deleted repos?

TODO: Add support for repo only restore, via gerrit_backup_tool.

Yes, via restore argument --repo-list gerrit_backup_repos.txt. However currently this will restore the database also, deleting new reviews. So it's a good idea to do a back-up first and then a restore.

Have to select a specific back-up versions

TODO: Implement, the main task was to restore data onto a new server after an unrecovable failer of an active server.
