# Node Backup/Restore

<Steps>
  <Step title="Access Backup Functionality" titleSize="h3">
    Users can manage backups for their nodes by navigating to the specific node’s backup page at `nodes/{nodeId}/backup`.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Create a Backup" titleSize="h3">
    * If no backup has been previously created, the page will display a "Create Backup" button in the "Backup Node" section.
    * To initiate the backup process, the user clicks the "Create Backup" button.
    * Clicking the button triggers an AWS Lambda function that communicates with the RGB node's `/backup` API endpoint to start the backup process on the node.
    * Once the backup is successfully created, it is automatically uploaded to an Amazon S3 bucket. The bucket is structured to organize backups based on `userId` and `nodeId`, ensuring backups are easy to manage and retrieve.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Download" titleSize="h3">
    A pre-signed URL is generated and provided to the user. This URL allows the user to download the backup directly from the S3 bucket. For security purposes, the URL is time-limited and expires 30 minutes after being issued.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Node Restore

<Steps>
  <Step title="Access Restore Functionality" titleSize="h3">
    Users can manage backups for their nodes by navigating to the specific node’s backup page and find the "Restore node" section at `nodes/{nodeId}/backup`.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Uploading the Backup File" titleSize="h3">
    * Click "Upload" this button will generate an S3 upload URL.
    * Once the S3 upload URL is generated, users are prompted to select the backup file from their local device.
    * After selecting the file, the upload begins automatically, securely transferring the backup file to the designated S3 bucket.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Restoring Node" titleSize="h3">
    * After the upload is successfully completed, a "Restore" button becomes active on the interface.
    * Users click the "Restore" button to start the restoration process. It triggers the node’s `/restore` API.
    * The `/restore` API facilitates the restoration by taking the backup data from S3 and applying it to the node.
