In this example, I will show you how to restore/rollback Magento database. Before you rollback, let check exist backup files:
List all existed backup files

+---------------------------------+-------------+
Let run rollback a database
php bin/magento setup:rollback --db-file=1534245793_db.sql
It asks to confirm, type: y to proces the rollback process.

Rollback Code
php bin/magento setup:rollback --code-file=your-filesystem_code.tgz
