+How to A&AI data snapshot and restore in ONAP 1.1
+=================================================
+
+1. Check the containers that are running and get the container name for
+   resources micro service as this container contains both dataSnapshot
+   and restore scripts
+
+2. If the deployment was followed properly, then the container name
+   would have been
+   testconfig\_aai-resources.api.simpledemo.openecomp.org\_1
+
+3. Run the following command to save the current snapshot of your data:
+
+    docker exec -u aaiadmin -it
+    testconfig\_aai-resources.api.simpledemo.openecomp.org\_1
+    /opt/app/aai-resources/bin/dataSnapshot.sh
+
+1. After running that command, you should see the following line in the
+   standard output:
+
+    Snapshot written to
+    /opt/app/aai-resources/logs/data/dataSnapshots/dataSnapshot.graphSON.201709221713
+
+1. This file dataSnapshot.graphSON.201709221713 can be found in
+   /opt/aai/logroot/AAI-RESOURCES/data/dataSnapshots on the host vm
+
+2. If you want to restore the data from the snapshot, then you would run
+   this command:
+
+    docker exec -u aaiadmin -it
+    testconfig\_aai-resources.api.simpledemo.openecomp.org\_1
+    /opt/app/aai-resources/bin/dataRestoreFromSnapshot.sh
+    dataSnapshot.graphSON.201709221713
+
+1. The argument to the dataRestoreFromSnapshot.sh is the dataSnapshot
+   graphson file and it only needs the base name and expects to be found
+   in the host vm /opt/aai/logroot/AAI-RESOURCES/data/dataSnapshots.
+
+2. Once that command is run, you will be given a warning of 5 seconds to
+   quit the process as it will replace whatever you have in your A&AI
+   data with that snapshot and any current data thats not saved into a
+   snapshot will be lost.
