Stafi Geordiertools for Backup & Restores (Under Maintenance)
By GeordieR Validator
The restore solution is currently under maintenance as I work to change the way the extraction process works to make better use of space. Currently the huge tar.gz file is too large to extract whilst being on disk. 117GB then extracted is exhausting most disk sizes so Ill be chunking the download from now on using many files instead of just one . Ill delete each extracted file off disk and its extracted. Sorry for any inconvenience. If you have any questions you can reach out to me on telegram or discord.

Video Help!
Please see the youtube video here for help restoring a node. I will say its not made for total beginners as I skip concepts like choosing a VPS, using putty / or any other terminal program to connect to your VPS, securing your VPS etc. It also uses the "&" concept for running elements in the background. Please play with this your first time on a seperate node that you have not registered your session keys to get comfortable. I usually fire up a Vultr node for a few hours to test before destroying it as its just so easy to do.
One more note: If you see a different command on the video than on the documentation, the documentation takes precedence. Some bugs or "sudo" removals have been made to the documentation since the video was released so please take notice of this guide when you use the video to assist you.
