Hi Developers,

I have been searching for a way to restore a single database. I have not got 
much luck searching in the docs and hoping someone could give me input, perhaps 
best practice on backup/restore on couchdb.

Schenario: We have 3 servers in cluster and shards. One database is deleted and 
we have a volume snapshot before it was deleted.

My understading, I should be able to replace _db.couch file and replaceing 
individual shard files for all 3 servers. This does work to a degree, after 
replacing the _db.couch and shards files, I was able to list the restored 
database (using _all_dbs) and view the restored documents (using 
<dbname>/_all_docs). However, after couchdb restart, it went back to the 
original list with the restored database missing, eventhough the shard files 
still around.
