Restore an In-Memory DB Cluster
IONOS CLOUD DBaaS lets you restore an In-Memory DB cluster from an existing snapshot.
Warning: Restoring from a snapshot is only available while creating a new cluster. There is no option to restore an existing cluster in place through the DCD.
To restore a cluster from a snapshot during creation, follow these steps:
1
Navigate to In-Memory DB cluster overview
1. In the DCD, go to Menu > Databases > In-Memory DB.
2. From the In-Memory DB cluster overview page, click Create cluster.
2
Define cluster properties
In the Properties section, specify a Cluster name, Location, and optional Description for the new cluster. For more information, see Create an In-Memory DB Cluster.
3
Restore from a snapshot
To initialize the new cluster with data from an existing snapshot, go to the Restore configuration section and select Restore cluster from snapshot, then specify the following:
1. Source snapshot: Select the snapshot to restore from. Only snapshots from clusters within the same region are eligible.
2. Recovery target datetime: Select a date and time within the displayed recovery window. The cluster is restored from the most recent snapshot taken at or before that time. If left empty, the cluster is restored from the latest available snapshot.
Note: In-Memory DB does not provide continuous point-in-time recovery — the nearest preceding snapshot is always used. A restored snapshot also includes its stored credentials; credentials you provide later in User Creation override those from the snapshot.

Complete the remaining cluster configuration
Configure the cluster, instances, snapshot storage, network, maintenance window, and observability settings, then create the database user. For detailed step-by-step instructions, see Create an In-Memory DB Cluster.
Note: If a user in the User Creation section already exists in the restored snapshot, its credentials are overwritten.
5
Save the cluster
Click Save to create the cluster from the selected snapshot.
Result: Your In-Memory DB cluster is created from the selected snapshot. Its STATE is set to Provisioning while the cluster is being created. Once complete, the cluster returns to Available.
