Restoring a Single Node Backup to the Original Instance

Precautions

• Restoring backup data to the original instance will overwrite existing data on the instance and cause the instance to be unavailable during the restoration. Exercise caution when performing this operation.
• The administrator password of the instance remains unchanged after the restoration.
• If you restore a manual backup, check whether the instance to which the manual backup belongs exists. If the instance does not exist, the backup can only be restored to a new instance.
