Restore version

Overview

Restores an older dataset family version: the contents of the selected version become a new dataset version, which is now the latest in the family. The dataset history stays linear, because the restore itself is a new version rather than an in-place rollback.

Restore version Dataset

Prerequisites

RequirementWhat you need
Version numberA version number from an earlier Create version run.

How it works

1

Reads the source dataset and the requested version number.

2

Rebuilds that version into a new dataset and returns it.

FAQ

No. It creates a new dataset from the version and leaves the source dataset as it is.

From the Create version node, which returns a version number each time it snapshots a dataset.

A version stores references to assets, not copies. Restore works only while those assets still exist in OvalBee.
