restorewallet

restorewallet “wallet_name” “backup_file” ( load_on_startup )

Restores and loads a wallet from backup.

The rescan is significantly faster if a descriptor wallet is restored and block filters are available (using startup option “-blockfilterindex=1”).

Arguments:

1. wallet_name (string, required) The name that will be applied to the restored wallet
2. backup_file (string, required) The backup file that will be used to restore the wallet.
3. load_on_startup (boolean, optional) Save wallet name to persistent settings and load on startup. True to add wallet to startup list, false to remove, null to leave unchanged.

Result: { (json object) “name” : “str”, (string) The wallet name if restored successfully. “warnings” : [ (json array, optional) Warning messages, if any, related to restoring and loading the wallet. “str”, (string) … ] }
