# Restoring from a graph snapshot
Restoring a snapshot

 When you create a snapshot of a graph, Neptune Analytics creates a storage volume snapshot of the graph, backing up all of its data. You can later create a new Neptune Analytics graph by restoring from this snapshot. When you restore the graph, you provide the name of the graph snapshot to restore from, and then provide a name for the new graph that is created by the restore.

#### [ CLI/SDK ]

**Restore an analytics graph from a snapshot**

```
aws neptune-graph restore-graph-from-snapshot \
--graph-name <NEW_GRAPH_NAME> \
--snapshot-id <SNAPSHOT_ID>
```

Parameters:

1.  `graph-name` - The name of the new Neptune Analytics graph that will be created from the snapshot. 

1.  `snapshot-id` - The snapshot identifier you want to restore from. 

Optional parameters:

1.  `min-provisioned-memory` - The minimum provisioned memory to use for the new graph. Default: 64. 

1.  `max-provisioned-memory` - The maximum provisioned memory to use for the new graph. Default: 1024, or the approved upper limit for your account. Neptune Analytics will analyze the data to find the best memory configuration between min-provisioned-memory and max-provisioned-memory to create the graph. 

1.  `public-access, no-public-access` - Whether connectivity over public networks (internet) is enabled or not. Default: `no-public-access`. 

1.  `replica-count` - The number of replicas to provision on the new graph after import. Default: 0, Min: 0, Max:2.
