## Disaster Recovery
The database file contains everything needed to restore a vspd deployment -
simply place the database file into the vspd data directory and start vspd as
normal.
### Voting Wallets
<!--
To recover from a total failure of a wallet or wallet server (or to add a new
wallet to the vspd deployment):
// TODO: Content copied from dcrstakepool repo, should be updated for vspd once
consistency checking is implemented:
- Set up a new empty wallet. Ensure voting is enabled and the wallet is
unlocked.
- Update the vspd config file to include the new wallet (and remove the old
wallet if necessary).
- Restart vspd and it will connect to the new wallet and automatically insert
all required data to bring it up to date.
In the case of a total failure of a wallet server:
Restore the failed wallet(s) from seed.
Restart the dcrstakepool process to allow automatic syncing to occur.
### Front-end
-->
The vspd database file contains everything needed to restore a vspd deployment
from scratch. Simply place the database file into the vspd data directory and
start vspd as normal. vspd will use the database to insert all necessary data
into all of the voting wallets.
