* __Q:__ How to recover a DLT copy from a backup?
* __A:__ A full copy of the Alastria DLT currently occupies approximately 300GB (as of the first quarter of 2024). In the event of a node issue, recovering a hot copy can take around 4 days. However, with a backup available, the recovery time can be significantly reduced. If you trust another partner or a backup provided by Alastria dated 20240302 at block 179598083, you can add it to your node.
## How to recover a DLT copy from a backup? ##

A full copy of the Alastria DLT currently requires approximately 500GB (as of the last quarter of 2024). In the event of a node issue, recovering a hot copy can take around 4 days. However, with a backup available, the recovery time can be significantly reduced. If you trust another partner or a backup provided by Alastria (dated 20241014 at block 127109486), you can use it during the initial synchronization of your node.

To request a backup provided by Alastria, you can contact us at the email address [email protected].
