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.
