RestoreExternalSnapshot()

This operation restores an external snapshot to a target collection. The restore runs asynchronously — use GetRestoreSnapshotState() to monitor progress.

func (c *Client) RestoreExternalSnapshot(ctx context.Context, opt RestoreExternalSnapshotOption, callOptions ...grpc.CallOption) (int64, error)

Request Syntax

option := milvusclient.NewRestoreExternalSnapshotOption(targetCollectionName, snapshotMetadataURI).
    WithDbName(dbName).
    WithExternalSpec(externalSpec).
    WithRequestTimeout(timeout)

jobID, err := cli.RestoreExternalSnapshot(ctx, option)

PARAMETERS:

• targetCollectionName (string)

  The name of the target collection to restore into.

• snapshotMetadataURI (string)

  The URI of the snapshot metadata to restore.

BUILDER METHODS:

• NewRestoreExternalSnapshotOption(targetCollectionName string, snapshotMetadataURI string)

  Creates a new option to restore an external snapshot.

• WithDbName(dbName string)

  Sets the database name for the target collection.

• WithExternalSpec(externalSpec string)

  Sets the external storage specification (e.g., custom endpoint credentials) used for the restore.

• WithRequestTimeout(timeout time.Duration)

  Sets the timeout for the restore request. Default: 120 * time.Second.

RETURN TYPE:

int64, error

RETURNS:

The restore job ID on success. Use this ID with GetRestoreSnapshotState() to track the restore progress. Returns an error if the operation fails.

ERROR HANDLING:

• error

  Check err != nil for failure details.

Example

import (
    "context"
    "fmt"

    "github.com/milvus-io/milvus/client/v3/milvusclient"
)

ctx, cancel := context.WithCancel(context.Background())
defer cancel()

milvusAddr := "127.0.0.1:19530"

cli, err := milvusclient.New(ctx, &milvusclient.ClientConfig{
    Address: milvusAddr,
})
if err != nil {
    // handle error
}

defer cli.Close(ctx)

jobID, err := cli.RestoreExternalSnapshot(ctx, milvusclient.NewRestoreExternalSnapshotOption("restored_collection", "s3://my-bucket/snapshots/backup/"))
if err != nil {
    // handle error
}

fmt.Printf("Restore job started: %d\n", jobID)
