Documented steps Export `RAILWAY_TOKEN`; POST to https://backboard.railway.com/graphql/v2. Get both the volumeInstanceBackupId (the backup) and the volumeInstanceId (target volume instance). Run: `mutation volumeInstanceBackupRestore($volumeInstanceBackupId: String!, $volumeInstanceId: String!){ volumeInstanceBackupRestore(volumeInstanceBackupId: $volumeInstanceBackupId, volumeInstanceId: $volumeInstanceId) }` with both ids as variables. Confirm the restore completes and redeploy/restart the service so it sees the restored data. Known gotchas Restore targets a specific volume instance; restoring replaces that instance's data — ensure you restored to a clean/or correct environment. Restore may interrupt the service (rebuild/restart); expect brief downtime. You cannot restore into a shared parent volume blindly — the operation is instance-scoped.
