[vinuvk]

I'm not able to restore my ServiceNow Personal Developer instance. Does anyone know how to restore ServiceNow Personal Developer instance.

Hi @vinuvk 

I have been using PDI since this morning with no issues, but yes, I saw a few posts on the community about PDI offline. 

1. There is no support available for PDI.

2. If you can wait, more, let's wait 

3. You may release this instance and take a new one but in this case, you will lose your previous data. 

From going forward, try to take regular backup of PDI, to avoid any loss of update set in future.

Hello @vinuvk ,

Restoring a ServiceNow Personal Developer Instance (PDI) is not an option due to the lack of official support for these instances. Once a PDI has been reclaimed, it cannot be restored, and all associated data is lost. If you're experiencing issues, your only recourse is to release the current instance and request a new one, but keep in mind that this will result in the loss of all previous data.

To avoid future data loss, it’s advisable to regularly back up your PDI and any important updates or configurations you make. Unfortunately, without a backup or support for PDIs, there’s little that can be done if the instance is inactive or has been reclaimed.

Please Mark ✅Correct if this solves your query and also mark 👍Helpful if you find my response worthy based on the impact.

Hi @vinuvk

Once a PDI is being reclaimed, it can't be restored. You need to request for a new one.
