Backup Migration

You can export data from the source database to a backup file, upload the backup file to OBS, and then restore the backup file to the destination database. In this way, data migration can be complete without exposing your source database to the Internet. Table 1 lists the supported databases, versions, and migration types. For more information about backup migration, see Backup Migration.

The major version of the destination database must be the same as or later than that of the source database.
