# RestoreTime

The date and time that you want to restore your index to. You can use this option instead of listing a specific backup file to use to restore. When you use this option, IDOL Server:

- restores to the latest backup from before the specified time.
- runs any archived index actions from between the backup time and the specified restore time. If you have not configured an ArchivePath , the index remains in the backup state.

You can use the following formats to specify your dates:

Date formats

Format | Explanation
--- | ---
`D+/M+/#YY+` | A date. For example, `1/3/05`, `23/12/1999`, `10/07/40`, or `8/5/2012`. If the year is a number less than 40, it is read as a year in the 2000s. If the year is a number between 40 and 99, it is read as a year in the 1900s. For example, `01/02/01` is read as 1 February 2001, and `01/03/40` is read as 1 March 1940. IDOL Server treats the date as a date in its local timezone.
`YYYY-MM-DD` | A date in ISO-8601 format. For example, `2017-05-12`
`HH:NN:SS D+/M+/#YY+` | A time and date. For example, `10:30:45 1/3/05`, `18:55:00 23/12/99`, `01:23:45 10/07/1940`, or `07:15:00 8/5/2012`. If the year is a number less than 40, it is read as a year in the 2000s. If the year is a number between 40 and 99, it is read as a year in the 1900s. For example, `01/02/01` is read as 1 February 2001, and `01/03/40` is read as 1 March 1940. IDOL Server treats the date as a date in its local timezone.
`YYYY-MM-DDTHH:NN:SSZ` `YYYY-MM-DDTHH:NN:SS±HHMM` | A date and time in ISO-8601 formats, with a time zone (either as a literal Z, or a four digit time zone offset). For example, `2017-05-02T12:45:00Z`, or `2017-05-02T12:45:00+0000`
`HH:NN:SS D+/M+/#YY+ #ADBC` | A time and date with a time period. For example, `10:30:45 1/3/05 AD`, `18:55:00 23/12/99 CE`. For the time period, you can use `AD`, `CE`, `BC`, `BCE`, or any predefined list of EPOCH indicators. IDOL Server treats the date as a date in its local timezone.
`N` | A positive or negative number of days from the current date. For example, `–1` specifies yesterday's date, `0` specifies today's date, `1` specifies tomorrow's date, `2` specifies two days from now (the current date plus two), and so on.
`Ns` | A positive or negative number of seconds from now. For example, `–60s` specifies one minute ago, `–900s` specifies 15 minutes ago, `–3600s` specifies one hour ago and so on. `60s` specifies one minute from now, `900s` specifies 15 minutes from now, `3600s` specifies one hour from now, and so on.
`Ne` | Epoch seconds (seconds since 1 January 1970 UTC). For example, `1012345000e` specifies 22:56:40 on 29 January 2002 UTC.

NOTE:

IDOL Server treats any date that does not have explicit timezone information as a date in the local timezone, both in the index and in your query parameters. This behavior might result in non-intuitive matches.

For example, epoch second values are always UTC. The value `1012345000e` matches times as 22:56:40 on 29 January 2002 UTC. If your local timezone is GMT-6, this query might match an indexed date value of 03:56:40 on 29 January 2002 (which corresponds to the same time UTC), because the indexed date is in your local timezone.

Similarly, if your query date is `03:56:40 29/01/2002`, this might match an indexed epoch seconds date of `1012345000`.

NOTE:

If you use a format that contains a space (such as a date and time), you must percent-encode the parameter value.

IDOL Server processes date and time values according to the timezone of the server. To avoid confusion or inconsistent results, HPE recommends that you use the epoch seconds format where possible. The GetBackupData action returns the available backup times in epoch seconds, and the IndexerGetStatus action returns the times for index jobs in epoch seconds if you set EpochTime to `True`, so that you can find the time that you want to restore to.
