# Full restore

A full restore is the opposite of a full save or file-save.
A full restore is the process of reloading the entire file system
from either a file-save tape or from the original sys-gen media provided
with your system.

The full restore is usually performed from the options
prompt, where the choices are typically:

| a | ABS load |
| --- | --- |
| f | full restore |
| x | coldstart |
Warning: When performing a full restore from
a good file-save, it is not necessary to reload the D3 data file from
the original sys-gen media. The file-save tape contains the files
needed and provided by D3, unless they were deliberately not saved
on the file-save.
