# kv rollback

~> **NOTE:** This is a [K/V Version 2](/docs/secrets/kv/kv-v2) secrets
engine command, and not available for Version 1.

The `kv rollback` command restores a given previous version to the current
version at the given path. The value is written as a new version; for instance,
if the current version is 5 and the rollback version is 2, the data from version
2 will become version 6. This command makes it easy to restore unintentionally
overwritten data.

## Examples

Restores the version 2 of the data at key "creds":

```shell-session
$ vault kv rollback -version=2 secret/creds
Key              Value
---              -----
created_time     2019-06-06T17:07:19.299831Z
deletion_time    n/a
destroyed        false
version          6
```

## Usage

There are no flags beyond the [standard set of flags](/docs/commands)
included on all commands.
