# Restore a preemptible server

You can restore a preemptible server in the `EXPIRED` status — resume its operation.

Recovery depends on the type of boot disk:

* if the disk is networked, the server recovers from the disk and continues to operate in the state it was in when it stopped;
* if the disk is local, a new cloud server is created from the image it was created from. Data that was on the local disk is not restored.

:::danger

After restoration, the server will continue to be preemptible and will be stopped by Selectel at any time within 24 hours of restoration.

    1. [Open the OpenStack CLI](/cloud-servers/tools/openstack-cli/).
    2. Reactivate the cloud server:

       ```bash
       openstack server unshelve <server>
       ```

       Specify `<server>` — the server ID or name; you can view it using the `openstack server list`.
