Rebuilding a GaussDB Instance

Scenarios

When you delete an instance, the system automatically creates a full backup and stores it in the recycle bin. Within the retention period, you can restore (also known as rebuild in this context) this instance by creating a new instance using the backup file. However, note that the restored instance will have a different private IP address from the original one.

Procedure

  1. Log in to the management console.
  2. Click in the upper left corner and select a region and project.
  3. Click in the upper left corner of the page and choose Databases > GaussDB.
  4. In the navigation pane on the left, choose Recycle Bin.
  5. Locate the instance to be rebuilt and click Rebuild in the Operation column.

  6. On the displayed page, configure required parameters and submit the task.

  7. After the rebuilding task is submitted, check the instance status on the Instances page. The rebuild is complete when the status shows Available.
