This topic describes the instance recycle bin feature and how to restore data of released instances.
Background information
The instance recycle bin stores instances that have been released but retain backup files. You can use the instance recycle bin to restore the data of released instances to a new instance.
When a OceanBase instance is released, you can choose one of the following two backup strategies:
Retain all existing data backups and log backups when the instance is released. You can view and restore the data of the instance in the instance recycle bin. The backup files of an instance that has entered the instance recycle bin are not deleted. Them are retained for 7 days by default and are continuously charged without any free quota. For more information, see Backup and restore billing. In the case of an instance that is released due to arrears, the backup data does not enter the instance recycle bin.
Do not retain the backup. After the instance is released, it does not enter the instance recycle bin.
Limitations
- Only instance-level data restore is supported. Data restore for individual tenants is not supported.
