Restore a MariaDB Cluster from a Backup
With IONOS DBaaS, you may roll back your MariaDB clusters to a previous point in time or use it to create a new cluster. This reliable function prevents data loss and downtime in unexpected situations.
For example, consider that certain values were accidentally deleted from your MariaDB cluster around 11 hours today. The easiest way to recover missing data is to restore a backup before 11 hours.
Result: You can restore only one backup at a time, and you must wait for the restoration process to finish before restoring another backup.
Prerequisites
The backup must belong to the MariaDB cluster to be restored.
The cluster must be in the AVAILABLE state.
Restore a Cluster
To restore a cluster, follow these steps:
1. In the DCD, go to Menu > Databases > MariaDB.
2. Select a MariaDB cluster from the list by clicking on its name. Alternatively, click Details in the OPTIONS column.

3. The Details window displays the necessary information of the chosen cluster. For more information, see View the list of MariaDB Clusters.
Point In Time Recovery displays the earliest backup available for restoration. Select Restore backup to choose the date and time for backup restoration.

Result: You will receive a confirmation that the cluster will be restored, and the respective cluster's STATE is set to RESTORING.
