Managed MySQL Database Backup Restore

post
https://api.linode.com/v4/databases/mysql/instances/{instanceId}/backups/{backupId}/restore

Restore a backup to a Managed MySQL Database on your Account.

Requires read_write access to the Database.

The Database must have an active, degraded, or failed status to perform this command.

Note: Restoring from a backup will erase all existing data on the database instance and replace it with backup data.

Note: Currently, restoring a backup after resetting Managed Database credentials results in a failed cluster. Please contact Customer Support if this occurs.

Path Parameters

integer

The ID of the Managed MySQL Database.

backupId
Required
integer
