Function

This API is used to restore a backup to a new DB instance.

Constraints

The database type of the destination DB instance must be the same as that of the source DB instance.
Currently, only replica set instances and cluster instances 4.0 can be restored to a new instance and to any point in time.

Requests

Parameter description

**Table 2** Parameter description
Name	Mandatory	Type	Description
name	Yes	String	Specifies the DB instance name. The instance name can be the same as an existing instance name. The instance name must contain 4 to 64 characters and must start with a letter. It is case sensitive and can contain letters, digits, hyphens (-), and underscores (_). It cannot contain other special characters.
availability_zone	Yes	String	Specifies the AZ ID. The value cannot be empty. For details about how to obtain this parameter value, see Regions and Endpoints.
vpc_id	Yes	String	Specifies the VPC ID. For details about how to obtain this parameter value, see section "Virtual Private Cloud" in the Virtual Private Cloud API Reference. The value cannot be empty. The string length and whether the string complying with UUID regular expression rules are verified.
subnet_id	Yes	String	Specifies the subnet ID. For details about how to obtain this parameter value, see section "Subnet" in the Virtual Private Cloud API Reference.
security_group_id	Yes	String	Specifies the ID of the security group where a specified DB instance belongs to. For details about how to obtain this parameter value, see section "Security Group" in the Virtual Private Cloud API Reference.
password	No	String	Specifies the database password. The value must be 8 to 32 characters in length and contain uppercase letters (A to Z), lowercase letters (a to z), digits (0 to 9), and special characters, such as ~!@#%^*-_=+? Enter a strong password to improve security, preventing security risks such as brute force cracking.
disk_encryption_id	No	String	The key ID used for disk encryption. The string must comply with UUID regular expression rules. If this parameter is not transferred, disk encryption is not performed.
flavor	Yes	Array of objects	Specifies the instance specifications. For more information, see Table 4. For details about how to obtain the value, see the parameter value in Querying Database Specifications.
restore_point	Yes	Object	Specifies the details about the backup to be restored to a new DB instance. For more information, see Table 3.
backup_strategy	No	Object	Specifies the advanced backup policy. For more information, see Table 5.
enterprise_project_id	No	String	Specifies the enterprise project ID. This parameter is not transferred for users who have not enabled the enterprise multi-project service. If this parameter is not transferred for a user who has enabled the enterprise multi-project service, the value is the default enterprise project.
ssl_option	No	String	Specifies whether to enable or disable SSL. Valid value: The value 0 indicates that SSL is disabled by default. The value 1 indicates that SSL is enabled by default. If this parameter is not transferred, SSL is enabled by default.

**Table 3** restore_point field data structure description
Name	Mandatory	Type	Description
instance_id	No	String	Specifies the instance ID, which can be obtained by calling the API for querying instances. If you do not have an instance, you can call the API used for creating an instance. This parameter is optional when type is set to backup. This parameter is mandatory when type is set to timestamp.
type	No	String	Specifies the recovery mode. The enumerated values are as follows: backup: indicates restoration from backup files. In this mode, backup_id is mandatory when type is optional. timestamp: indicates point-in-time restoration. In this mode, restore_time is mandatory when type is mandatory.
backup_id	No	String	Specifies the ID of the backup to be restored. This parameter must be specified when the backup file is used for restoration. NOTE: When type is not mandatory, backup_id is mandatory.
restore_time	No	Integer	Specifies the time point of data restoration in the UNIX timestamp. The unit is millisecond and the time zone is UTC. NOTE: When type is mandatory, restore_time is mandatory.

**Table 4** flavor field data structure description
Name	Mandatory	Type	Description
type	Yes	String	Specifies the node type. Valid value: For a cluster instance, the value can be mongos, shard, or config. For a replica set instance, the value is replica. For a single node instance, the value is single.
num	Yes	Integer	Specifies node quantity. Valid value: This parameter is not transferred for shard nodes. mongos: The value ranges from 2 to 32. config: The value is 1. replica: The value is 1. single: The value is 1.

In a cluster instance, the shard size ranges from 10 GB to 2000 GB and must be greater than or equal to the disk size of the original instance. The config size can only be 20 GB. This parameter is invalid for mongos nodes. Therefore, you do not need to specify the storage space for mongos nodes. In a replica set instance, the disk size ranges from 10 GB to 2000 GB and must be greater than or equal to the disk size of the original instance. In a single node instance, the disk size ranges from 10 GB to 1000 GB and must be greater than or equal to the disk size of the original instance.
spec_code	Yes	String	Specifies the resource specification code. For details about how to obtain the value, see the parameter value in Querying Database Specifications.

**Table 5** backup_strategy field data structure description
Name	Mandatory	Type	Description
start_time	Yes	String	Specifies the backup time window. Automated backups will be triggered during the backup time window. The value cannot be empty. It must be a valid value in the "hh:mm-HH:MM" format. The current time is in the UTC format. The HH value must be 1 greater than the hh value. The values of mm and MM must be the same and must be set to 00. Example value: 23:00-00:00
keep_days	No	String	Specifies the number of days to retain the generated backup files. The value range is from 0 to 732. If this parameter is set to 0, the automated backup policy is not set. If this parameter is not transferred, the automated backup policy is enabled by default. Backup files are stored for seven days by default.
