Stop and remove the current Harbor service if it is still running. ```sh cd harbor docker-compose down ``` 2. Remove current Harbor instance. ```sh rm -rf harbor ``` 3. Restore the older version of Harbor. ```sh mv /my_backup_dir/harbor harbor ``` 4. To restore the database, copy the data files from the backup directory to your data volume, which by default is `/data/database`. 5. Restart the Harbor service using the previous configuration. If the previous version of Harbor was installed by a release build: ```sh cd harbor ./install.sh ``` **NOTE**: While you can roll back an upgrade to the state before you started the upgrade, Harbor does not support downgrades. ---------- [Back to table of contents](../../index.md)
