I'm 90% positive you will not be able to restore a datomic cloud instance from s3 backups alone. If you re-create the stack you will likely LOSE the information because you are not taking dynamodb into account with your s3 backups. Dynamodb contains the tx-log, which I'm pretty sure you don't get with the s3 bucket backups alone. Since you currently still have the dynamodb tx-log from today (not truncated to 3 days ago, and I'm not suggesting to truncate it), it makes sense that you are getting back information from today from dynamodb.

Thanks, Joe

EFS also serves as an additional caching layer which might explain why you still see the latest data.

https://docs.datomic.com/cloud/transactions/transaction-functions.html#creating has that function as an example 🙂

not sure if you are doing on-prem vs cloud, but the details differ slightly

there's also a built in cas db fn

on-prem

https://docs.datomic.com/on-prem/database-functions.html

that's the same link but for on-prem

Sorry for not saying thank you yesterday. Thank yiu very much for the help 🙂
