Restoring Data to a New DB Instance

Description

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

Restrictions

This API supports restoring backups to both the yearly/monthly and pay-per-use DB instances.
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.

name	String	Yes	The DB instance name. The instance name can be the same as an existing 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	String	Yes	AZ ID.
vpc_id	String	Yes	VPC ID. For details about how to obtain this parameter value, see "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	String	Yes	Subnet ID. For details about how to obtain this parameter value, see "Subnet" in the Virtual Private Cloud API Reference.
security_group_id	String	Yes	Specifies the ID of the security group where a specified DB instance belongs to. For details about how to obtain this parameter value, see "Security Group" in the Virtual Private Cloud API Reference.

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. If this parameter is not transferred, set a password for the instance before connecting to the instance. For details, see Resetting the Administrator Password.
disk_encryption_id	String	No	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.

enterprise_project_id	String	No	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	String	No	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.

server_group_policies	Array of strings	No	The names of the policies associated with the ECS group of the DeC user. Available values include: anti-affinity indicates that anti-affinity deployment is enabled for the DDS instance. To ensure high availability, the primary, secondary, and hidden nodes are created on different physical machines. If this parameter is not transferred for DeC users, anti-affinity deployment is disabled by default. Only DeC users can set this parameter.
charge_info	Object	No	Billing mode, which includes yearly/monthly and pay-per-use. The default billing mode is pay-per-use. For details, see Table 7.

**Table 3** Data structure description of the restore_point field
Name	Type	Mandatory	Description
instance_id	String	No	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	String	No	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	String	No	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.

**Table 5** Data structure of the flavor field
Name	Type	Mandatory	Description
type	String	Yes	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.

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 3000 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.
