Restoring Data from a Backup

Scenarios

You can use an automated or manual backup to restore data to the status when the backup was created. The restoration is at the DB instance level.

Procedure

1. Log in to the management console.
2. Click in the upper left corner and select a region and a project.
3. Click Service List. Under Databases, click GaussDB(for MySQL).
4. On the Backups page, select the backup to be restored and click Restore in the Operation column.
5. Click OK. Currently, you can only restore data to a new DB instance.

   The Create New Instance page is displayed.

   • The region, DB engine and version of the new DB instance are the same as those of the original DB instance and cannot be changed.
   • The database port is 3306 by default.
   • Other settings are the same as those of the original DB instance by default and can be modified. For details, see Step 1: Create a DB Instance.

6. View the restoration results.

   A new DB instance is created using the backup data. The instance status changes from Creating to Available.

   The new DB instance is independent from the original one. If you want to offload read pressure on the primary node, create one or more read replicas for the new DB instance.

   A full backup is triggered after the new DB instance is created.
