# Restoring from a backup into a new cache
Restoring from a backup

You can restore an existing backup from Valkey into a new Valkey cache or node-based cluster, and restore an existing Redis OSS backup into a new Redis OSS cache or node-based cluster. You can also restore an existing Memcached serverless cache backup into a new Memcached serverless cache. 

## Restoring a backup into a serverless cache (Console)


**Note**  
ElastiCache Serverless supports RDB files compatible with Valkey 7.2 and above, and Redis OSS versions between 5.0 and the latest version available.

1. Sign in to the AWS Management Console and open the ElastiCache console at [ https://console.aws.amazon.com/elasticache/](https://console.aws.amazon.com/elasticache/).

## Restoring a backup into a serverless cache (AWS CLI)


**Note**  
ElastiCache Serverless supports RDB files compatible with Valkey 7.2 and above, and Redis OSS versions between 5.0 and the latest version available.

**To restore a backup to a new serverless cache (AWS CLI)**

The following AWS CLI example creates a new cache using `create-serverless-cache` and imports data from a backup. 

For Linux, macOS, or Unix:

```
aws elasticache create-serverless-cache \

    --serverless-cache-name CacheName \
    --engine redis
    --snapshot-arns-to-restore Snapshot-ARN
```

For Windows:

```
aws elasticache create-serverless-cache ^

    --serverless-cache-name CacheName ^
    --engine redis ^
    --snapshot-arns-to-restore Snapshot-ARN
```
