# Restore an infobase from a backup
It is not possible to restore from a backup to the original infobase. You must create a new infobase and load the backup into it.
Connection details for the [new infobase](/cloud-1c/connect/connect-to-1c.mdx) will be different. To keep the existing connection details, you can verify the backup on a test infobase, then delete the original infobase and create a new one with the same name.
The 1C server cluster where the infobase is being restored will remain available during the restoration process, but its performance may decrease, and other infobases in the cluster might become unreachable. The infobase being restored from a backup will be unavailable to users until the operation is complete.
You can [create a backup](/cloud-1c/infobase/manage-infobase-backups.mdx#create-backup-manually) of the required type.
## Restore an infobase from a backup \{#restore-infobase}
Save the 1C connection details
1. Optional: [set a session lock](#set-session-lock).
2. [Create a test infobase](#create-test-infobase).
3. [Upload the backup to the test infobase](#upload-backup-to-test-infobase).
4. [Verify the test infobase](#check-test-infobase).
5. [Delete the original infobase](#delete-source-infobase).
6. [Create a working infobase](#create-main-infobase).
7. [Upload the backup to the working infobase](#upload-backup-to-main-infobase).
8. Optional: [delete the test infobase](#delete-test-infobase).
9. Optional: [remove the session lock](#remove-session-lock).
### 1. Optional: set a session lock \{#set-session-lock}
You can schedule maintenance time and set a session lockout for all info bases of the 1C server cluster where the info base will be restored. Once the session lockout is enabled for an info base, the base's active users will be prompted to save their data, and their sessions will be terminated.
To set a session lock, use the [Set a session lock](/cloud-1c/infobase/manage-infobase-user-sessions.mdx#set-lock) instructions.
### 2. Create a test infobase \{#create-test-infobase}

4. Enter the infobase name to confirm deletion.
5. Click **Delete**.
### 6. Create a working infobase \{#create-main-infobase}
