Restoring the environment

To restore the environment, you reactivate the environment, modify configurations, recreate Virtual Warehouses, and restore Hue and Data Visualization.

Reactivating the environment
You learn how to reactive the AWS or Azure environment.
Modifying configurations after activation
From the CDW UI, you configure alert and observability settings you had in the old environment.
Disabling end user access
If your business cannot tolerate downtime, you can prevent end user access to your clusters by disabling end user access. Disabling end user access is recommended only when bringing down your clusters is not feasible.
Recreating the Virtual Warehouses
You recreate the Virtual Warehouses in a few steps.
Restoring Hue
The backup procedure automatically saved the Hue database content and placed the content into the configured logs or data folders based on availability. Using the saved content, the restore process loads the data for the new Hue deployments.
Restoring Data Visualization
You can restore the Data Visualization instance that you backed up.
Enabling end user access
If you disabled end user access before recreating your Virtual Warehouse, you must enable access afterward.
