The server root directory should never be restored from a file system backup or snapshot.

    $ bin/stop-server
  2. To restore a saved backup, run the following command. 
    $ bin/restore --backupDirectory </path/to/backup/userRoot>
  3. To start the server, run the following command. 
    $ bin/start-server
