IMPORTANT: These should only be used for testing purposes. For production, the best practice is to sync your node over the network from beginning.
 
Only recover from backups for production off of a private backup copy which you have created (CertHum does not use these backups and recovers from private copies.)
 
These backups are NOT endorsed by the Moonbeam Foundation or any other 3rd party.

DEPENDING ON WHICH CHAIN YOU ARE RECOVRING, YOU WILL NEED TO PURGE YOUR CHAIN
. FOLLOW THE MANUAL INSTRUCTIONS FROM MOONBEAM FOUNDATIONhttps://docs.moonbeam.network/node-operators/networks/run-a-node/systemd/#purge-your-node ALWAYS MAKE SURE YOU ARE USING THE CLIENT VERSION THAT MATCHES THE SNAPSHOT VERSION. WE TRY TO RETAIN WITH N-1, BUT IF IN DOUBT, USE THE MOST RECENT.
