Restoring Data to an Existing DB Instance

Function

This API is used to restore a database to an existing DB instance.

• Before calling an API, you need to understand the API in Authentication.

Constraints

• This API does not support RDS for PostgreSQL instance restoration.
• When data is restored to an existing DB instance, the API has the following constraints:
  • The DB engine of the original DB instance must be the same as that of the target DB instance. For example, if the original DB instance is running MySQL, the target DB instance must also run MySQL.
  • The DB engine version of the target instance must be at least equal to that of the original instance. For example, an RDS for MySQL 5.7.25 instance can be restored to an RDS for MySQL 5.7.27 instance.
  • The total storage space of the target DB instance must be at least equal to that of the original DB instance.
  • Cross-region restoration is not supported.
  • For RDS for MySQL DB instances, when data is restored to an existing DB instance, the case sensitivity setting of the existing DB instance must be the same as that of the original DB instance. Otherwise, the restoration may fail.
