    Backup Source Configuration

    1. Name your new database.

    2. Source
      Select the source server type to see the fields necessary to access the backup

      • If you use an Amazon S3 custom host: ForcePathStyle
        • a- Use a custom S3 host
          Toggle to provide a custom server URL.
        • b- Force path style
          Toggle to change the default S3 bucket path convention on your custom Amazon S3 host.

    3. Backup Directory
      Select the file location that you set when you created your backup.

      • If your source is a cloud-based database, you will likely need to enter credentials and passwords as well as location.

    4. Disable ongoing tasks after restore
      Disabling will likely require ongoing tasks to be created again.

    5. Skip indexes
      Skipping indexes will require your indexes to be built anew.

    6. Restore Point Choose the backup version which will populate your new, restored database.

      • Snapshot backup type includes fully built indexes which makes restoring the database faster.
      • Full or Incremental types include index definitions from which the new indexes will be built.

    Setting Up High Availability After Restoration

    The backup will be restored only on the current node after restoration.
    To create a database group of at least 3 nodes this database can be added to other nodes using the "Add node" button in the Manage group Studio view.

    Importing Backups into a Sharded Database

    • The backup of a non-sharded database cannot be restored as a new sharded database.
    • The backup of a non-sharded database can, however, be imported into an existing sharded database.
