Restoring a Backup to the Source OpenSearch Cluster

Restore an OpenSearch cluster backup to the source cluster the backup was generated from.

Restoring a backup to the source cluster reverts the data in the existing cluster to a snapshot from a previous point in time. Use this option when the cluster is fine but there's an issue with the data in the cluster, so you just want to restore the data.

If the cluster itself has failed and you need to rebuild the cluster, see Restoring a Backup to a New OpenSearch Cluster.
