Restore

Prerequisites

1. Ensure you have administrator privileges to perform the restore operation.
2. Ensure you have an existing Repository to store the backup. If not, follow the steps to create a Repository and perform a backup.
3. Ensure you have a valid backup snapshot available for restore.

1. Get the Backup Timestamp of the Snapshot

The following SQL statement can be used to view existing backups in the Repository named example_repo.

mysql> SHOW SNAPSHOT ON example_repo;
+-----------------+---------------------+--------+
| Snapshot            | Timestamp              | Status   |
+-----------------+---------------------+--------+
| exampledb_20241225 | 2022-04-08-15-52-29 | OK     |
+-----------------+---------------------+--------+
1 row in set (0.15 sec)

2. Restore from Snapshot

Option 1: Restore Snapshot to Current Database

The following SQL statement restores the snapshot labeled restore_label1 with the timestamp 2022-04-08-15-52-29 from the Repository named example_repo to the current database.

RESTORE SNAPSHOT `restore_label1`
FROM `example_repo`
PROPERTIES
(
    "backup_timestamp"="2022-04-08-15-52-29"
);

Option 2: Restore Snapshot to Specified Database

The following SQL statement restores the snapshot labeled restore_label1 with the timestamp 2022-04-08-15-52-29 from the Repository named example_repo to a database named destdb.

RESTORE SNAPSHOT destdb.`restore_label1`
FROM `example_repo`
PROPERTIES
(
    "backup_timestamp"="2022-04-08-15-52-29"
);

Option 3: Restore a Single Table from Snapshot

Restore the table backup_tbl from the snapshot in example_repo to the current database, with the snapshot labeled restore_label1 and timestamp 2022-04-08-15-52-29.

RESTORE SNAPSHOT `restore_label1`
FROM `example_repo`
ON ( `backup_tbl` )
PROPERTIES
(
    "backup_timestamp"="2022-04-08-15-52-29"
);

Option 4: Restore Partitions and Tables from Snapshot

Restore partitions p1 and p2 of the table backup_tbl, as well as the table backup_tbl2 to the current database example_db1, renaming it to new_tbl, from the backup snapshot snapshot_2, with the snapshot timestamp "2018-05-04-17-11-01".

RESTORE SNAPSHOT `restore_label1`
FROM `example_repo`
ON
(
    `backup_tbl` PARTITION (`p1`, `p2`),
    `backup_tbl2` AS `new_tbl`
)
PROPERTIES
(
    "backup_timestamp"="2022-04-08-15-55-43"
);

3. Check the Execution Status of the Restore Job

  ```sql

mysql> SHOW RESTORE\G; *************************** 1. row *************************** JobId: 17891851 Label: snapshot_label1 Timestamp: 2022-04-08-15-52-29 DbName: default_cluster:example_db1 State: FINISHED AllowLoad: false ReplicationNum: 3 RestoreObjs: { "name": "snapshot_label1", "database": "example_db", "backup_time": 1649404349050, "content": "ALL", "olap_table_list": [ { "name": "backup_tbl", "partition_names": [ "p1", "p2" ] } ], "view_list": [], "odbc_table_list": [], "odbc_resource_list": [] } CreateTime: 2022-04-08 15:59:01 MetaPreparedTime: 2022-04-08 15:59:02 SnapshotFinishedTime: 2022-04-08 15:59:05 DownloadFinishedTime: 2022-04-08 15:59:12 FinishedTime: 2022-04-08 15:59:18 UnfinishedTasks: Progress: TaskErrMsg: Status: [OK] Timeout: 86400 1 row in set (0.01 sec)
