Restoring a DCS Instance

On the DCS console, you can restore backup data to a chosen DCS instance.

Prerequisites

  • At least one master/standby or cluster DCS instance is in the Running state.
  • A backup task has been run to back up data in the instance to be restored and the backup task succeeded.

Procedure

  1. Log in to the DCS console.
  2. Click in the upper left corner of the management console and select a region and a project.
  3. In the navigation pane, choose Cache Manager.

    Filter DCS instances to find the DCS instance whose backup data you want to restore. You can filter by instance status and name.

  4. Click the name of the DCS instance to display more details about the DCS instance.
  5. On the instance details page, click Backups & Restorations.

    A list of historical backup tasks is then displayed.

  6. Click Restore in the same row as the chosen backup task.
  7. Click OK to start instance restoration.

    Information in the Description text box cannot exceed 128 bytes.

    You can view the results of all restoration tasks on the Restoration History page. The records cannot be deleted.

    Instance restoration takes 1 to 30 minutes.

    While being restored, DCS instances do not accept data operation requests from clients because existing data is being overwritten by the backup data.
