Restore One Snapshot of One Serverless Instance
Restores one snapshot of one serverless instance from the specified project. To use this resource, the requesting Service Account or API Key must have the Project Owner role.
This API can also be used on Flex clusters that were created with the createServerlessInstance endpoint or Flex clusters that were migrated from Serverless instances. This endpoint will be sunset in January 2026. Please use the createFlexBackupRestoreJob endpoint instead.
Path parameters
-
Unique 24-hexadecimal digit string that identifies your project. Use the /groups endpoint to retrieve all projects to which the authenticated user has access.
NOTE: Groups and projects are synonymous terms. Your group id is the same as your project id. For existing groups, your group/project id remains the same. The resource and corresponding endpoints use the term groups.
Format should match the following pattern:
^([a-f0-9]{24})$
. -
Human-readable label that identifies the serverless instance whose snapshot you want to restore.
Format should match the following pattern:
^[a-zA-Z0-9][a-zA-Z0-9-]*$
.
Query parameters
-
Flag that indicates whether Application wraps the response in an
envelope
JSON object. Some API clients cannot access the HTTP response headers or status code. To remediate this, set envelope=true in the query. Endpoints that return a list of results use the results object as an envelope. Application adds the status parameter to the response body.Default value is
false
. -
Flag that indicates whether the response body should be in the prettyprint format.
Default value is
false
.Prettyprint
Body
Required
Restores one snapshot of one serverless instance from the specified project.
-

"deliveryType" : "pointInTime"
and oplogTs exceeds0
.Minimum value is
1
. -
Date and time from which you want to restore this snapshot. This parameter expresses this timestamp in the number of seconds that have elapsed since the UNIX epoch. This number represents the first part of an Oplog timestamp. The resource returns this parameter when
"deliveryType" : "pointInTime"
and oplogTs exceeds0
.Minimum value is
1199145600
. -
Date and time from which MongoDB Cloud restored this snapshot. This parameter expresses this timestamp in the number of seconds that have elapsed since the UNIX epoch. The resource returns this parameter when
"deliveryType" : "pointInTime"
