If a failure occurs that cannot be dealt with by the system, we can restore the data store from a backup, if you are regularly backing up the data store tables. To restore the tables that comprise a data store, refer to the documentation for the chosen database.
Stop the messaging engine before restoring the data store. If you attempt to restore the data store for a messaging engine that is still running, you might lose or corrupt important data.
Restore the data store in accordance with the documentation for the chosen database. Include the tables described in Data store tables.
