# Any chance of allowing a Backup (on any Environment) to be easily used to spin up a MultiDev instance? It would be SO AWESOME to click a button and resurrect a 3day old backup on a new Environment and log into it and look around. :-)

Backups are an excellent Restore-Point for when your current state is "no good" for whatever reason. However, sometimes you would just like to revisit the state of the site in very recent history. Currently this process requires that you to manually and individually get the Code, DB, Files to the new MultiDev Environment.

Doug.
Spin up the Multidev as you normally would, and then you can import your backup database to the environment via the database connection info pantheon gives you.

You can then use your git tools to reset head on the branch back to the date you want to restore to.

... Its not something Pantheon does press button, but its not that hard to do your self.

Hi, Doug. Great question! Short answer is that it's not currently possible but we're really excited about this idea. There may be a solution if we created an additional plugin to help make this possible. We'd be happy to chat further about this if you'd like. You can contact David Needham at david.needham@pantheon.io and he can answer specific questions around this. Thanks!
