   • The default API type and DB engine version are the same as those of the original instance and cannot be changed.
   • The new instance must have no less than nodes than the original instance.
   • GeminiDB automatically calculates the minimum storage space required for restoration based on the size of the selected backup file. The storage capacity depends on the instance specifications, and must be an integer.
   • You need to set a new administrator password.
   • To modify other parameters, see the description of buying instances of other DB APIs in Getting Started.

5. View the restoration results.

   A new instance is created using the backup data. The status of the new instance changes from Creating to Available.

   After the restoration, the system will perform a full backup.

   The new DB instance is independent from the original one.
