Create One Restore Job for One M2 or M5 Cluster Deprecated

POST /api/atlas/v1.0/groups/{groupId}/clusters/{clusterName}/backup/tenant/restore
Service accounts Digest auth

Restores the specified M2 or M5 cluster. MongoDB Cloud limits which clusters can be the target clusters of a restore. The target cluster can't use encryption at rest, run a major release MongoDB version different than the snapshot, or receive client requests during restores. MongoDB Cloud deletes all existing data on the target cluster prior to the restore operation. To use this resource, the requesting Service Account or API Key must have the Project Owner role.

This endpoint can also be used on Flex clusters that were created using the createCluster endpoint or former M2/M5 clusters that have been migrated to Flex clusters until January 2026, after which this endpoint will be sunset. Please use the createFlexBackupRestoreJob endpoint instead.

Path parameters

  • clusterName string Required

    Human-readable label that identifies the cluster.

    Format should match the following pattern: ^[a-zA-Z0-9][a-zA-Z0-9-]*$.

  • groupId string Required

    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})$.

Query parameters

  • envelope boolean

    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.

  • pretty boolean

    Flag that indicates whether the response body should be in the prettyprint format.

    Default value is false.

    Prettyprint
application/json

  • targetProjectId string

    Unique 24-hexadecimal digit string that identifies the project that contains the cluster to which you want to restore the snapshot.
