Restore
Restore creates a new database cluster from a ready backup run. myStack does not overwrite an existing primary in place from this flow.
Prerequisites
- A backup run in Ready status
- The data key that encrypted the backup
In the console
Choose Databases, Backup Runs (or a cluster’s backup runs), then Create database from this backup. That opens Migrations with the backup source selected.
To restore into a new cluster
- Open Databases, Backup Runs.
- Find a run with Status Ready.
- Choose Create database from this backup.
- Confirm the backup bucket and path as the migration source.
- Choose to create a new database.
- Select availability zone, engine, instance type, root password, data key, and (optional) parameter group.
- Start the migration and wait until the new cluster Status is Ready.
Note
You can also open Databases, Migrations and choose a ready backup run as the source without starting from the runs list.
After restore
- Open TCP access on the new cluster’s security group for your clients.
- Point applications at the new cluster’s read/write domain.
- (Optional) Attach a backup policy to the new cluster.
