Restoring Data Across Regions

Scenarios

TaurusDB can store backups in a different region from your DB instance. If your DB instance is faulty, you can use a backup to restore data to a new DB instance in the region where the backup is stored.

Prerequisites

A cross-region backup has been created. For details, see Configuring a Cross-Region Backup Policy.

  2. In the upper left corner of the page, select the region where the backup is located.
  3. In the navigation pane, choose Backups. On the displayed page, click the Cross-Region Backups tab.
