Restoring Tables to a Specified Point in Time (RDS for MySQL)

Function

To ensure data integrity and reduce impact on the original instance performance, the system restores the full and incremental data at the selected time point to a temporary DB instance, automatically exports the tables to be restored, and then restores the tables to the original DB instance.

This API will be unavailable on September 14, 2025. You are advised to switch workloads to the new API (Restoring Tables to a Specified Point in Time (RDS for MySQL)) before then.

This operation will generate restored tables on the original DB instance. Ensure that the original DB instance has sufficient storage capacity.

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

Constraints

  • This API is supported for RDS for MySQL only.
  • This API is not supported for RDS for MySQL 8.0 DB instances.
