Recovers databases in recovery mode after events such as cluster failure, and restores the databases' configurations and data from stored persistence files. See [Recover a failed database]({{< relref "/operate/rs/databases/recover" >}}) for detailed instructions.

Database persistence files are stored in `/var/opt/redislabs/persist/redis/` by default, but you can specify a different directory to use for database recovery with [`rladmin node <id> recovery_path set <path>`]({{< relref "/operate/rs/references/cli-utilities/rladmin/node/recovery-path" >}}).

## `recover all`

Recovers all databases in recovery mode.

```sh
rladmin recover all
        [ only_configuration ]
```

### Returns

Returns `Completed successfully` if the database was recovered. Otherwise, returns an error.

### Example

```
$ rladmin recover all
  0% [ 0 recovered | 0 failed ] |         | Elapsed Time: 0:00:00[first-db (db:1) recovery] Initiated.[second-db (db:2) recovery] Initiated.
 50% [ 0 recovered | 0 failed ] |###      | Elapsed Time: 0:00:04[first-db (db:1) recovery] Completed successfully
 75% [ 1 recovered | 0 failed ] |######   | Elapsed Time: 0:00:06[second-db (db:2) recovery] Completed successfully

```

## `recover db`

Recovers a specific database in recovery mode.

```sh
rladmin recover db { db:<id> | <name> }
        [ only_configuration ]
```

### Parameters
