sql mysql guides send feedback restore an instance overview stay organized with collections save and categorize content based on your preferences mysql postgresql sql server cloud sql lets you restore your instances from a backup or by performing point in time recovery pitr this lets you recover an instance to a specific period or time by either restoring the backup to an existing instance or restoring the backup to a new instance to restore you can use the backup of a live or deleted instance the restore operation takes the source instance s settings databases and users and sets them in the target instance you choose when you restore to a new instance the target instance can be in a different region or project from the source instance the target instance can also use a different number of cores or amount of memory than the source instance cloud sql always sets the storage capacity of the target instance to the maximum value of the size of both the configured disk and the backup disk the backup disk is the size of the disk when the backup is taken when performing a restore on an instance consider the following the restore operation overwrites all data on the target instance the flags from the source instance aren t restored any flags previously set on the target instance are retained after the restore the target instance is unavailable for connections during the restore operation existing connections are lost if you are restoring to an instance with read replicas then you must delete all replicas and recreate them after the restore operation completes the restore operation restarts the instance after you restore from a backup the target instance s backup configurations are set to default values if your source instance had custom backup configurations or was using enhanced backups then you ll need to update the backup configurations after restore is complete restore using a backup cloud sql lets you restore an instance using a backup you can use a backup from a live or deleted instance and use it to restore to a new or existing instance you can use any available backup to restore the instance to learn more about how backups work at cloud sql see backups overview when you restore an instance using a backup you can do the following restore to a new instance restore to an existing instance restore to an instance in another project or region in the event of an outage you can still retrieve a list of backups in a particular project to restore from to restore your instance using a backup see restore an instance using a backup restore a cmek enabled instance using enhanced backups when you use cmek enabled instances with enhanced backups your backups are protected by the same cmek as the instance this can be an important part of your backup plan for instances that require cmek encryption because it maintains your cmek encrypted backups in a separate project where they can be successfully restored even if your original workload project is compromised or deleted when you restore an enhanced backup of a cmek enabled instance into a new instance you can choose any of the following encryption options for the new instance use the same cloud kms key as the original instance this is the default behavior select a different cloud kms key for the target instance to select a different key set the disk encryption key flag in the restore command revert to google owned and google managed encryption keys for the target instance to use gmek set the clear disk encryption flag in the restore command point in time recovery pitr pitr lets you restore your instance to a specific time of the database for example if an error causes a loss of data then you can recover a database to its state before the error occurred unlike restore using a backup pitr always create a new instance you can t perform a pitr to an existing instance the new instance inherits the settings of the source instance similar to when you create a clone if you create a cloud sql enterprise plus edition instance then pitr is enabled by default you have to manually disable the feature if you don t want it enabled if you create a cloud sql enterprise edition instance in the google cloud console then pitr is enabled by default if you create a cloud sql for mysql instance with high availability enabled then pitr is also enabled by default otherwise if you create the instance by using the gcloud cli terraform or the cloud sql admin api then pitr is disabled by default to enable pitr for these instances you have to manually enable it note to speed up instance creation when pitr is enabled cloud sql uses an initial instant snapshot for pitr instead of a standard backup this snapshot is later converted to a standard backup in the background to support restore operations for step by step instructions for performing pitr see use point in time recovery pitr log storage for pitr pitr uses binary logging to archive logs when you restore an existing instance using a backup these archive logs are deleted and won t be available to perform a pitr only new logs generated after the restore is complete can be used for pitr on august 11 2023 we launched storing transaction logs for pitr in cloud storage since this launch the following conditions apply all cloud sql enterprise plus edition instances store their binary logs used for pitr in cloud storage only cloud sql enterprise plus edition instances that you upgraded from cloud sql enterprise edition before april 1 2024 and had pitr enabled before august 11 2023 continue to store their logs for pitr on disk cloud sql enterprise edition instances created with pitr enabled before august 11 2023 continue to store their logs for pitr on disk note for instances that were created before august 11 2023 cloud sql switches the location of the transaction logs used for pitr automatically for you you can use gcloud cli or the cloud sql admin api to check where transaction logs are stored for your instance if you upgrade a cloud sql enterprise edition instance after august 11 2023 that stores transaction logs for pitr on disk to cloud sql enterprise plus edition then the upgrade process switches the storage location of the transaction logs used for pitr to cloud storage for you for more information see upgrade an instance to cloud sql enterprise plus edition by using in place upgrade all cloud sql enterprise edition instances that you create with pitr enabled after august 11 2023 store logs used for pitr in cloud storage if your instance uses cloud storage to store binary logs then the logs are stored in the same region as the primary instance these logs are stored for up to 35 days for cloud sql enterprise plus edition and 7 days for cloud sql enterprise edition and generate no additional cost per instance for more information about how to check the storage location of the transaction logs used for pitr see check where transaction logs are stored for your instance for instances that store binary logs only on disk you can switch the storage location of the transaction logs used for pitr from disk to cloud storage by using gcloud cli or the cloud sql admin api for more information see switch transaction log storage to cloud storage caution moving transaction logs from disk to cloud storage results in both several minutes of downtime and a loss of the previous logs for pitr the downtime is because the instances must be restarted and the logs are cleared when you deactivate pitr to ensure that logs for your instance are stored in cloud storage instead of on disk complete the following actions check the network architecture of the instance if the instance is on the old network architecture then upgrade it to the new network architecture if the size of your logs on disk is causing performance issues for your instance then deactivate pitr and re enable it this action ensures that new logs are stored in cloud storage instead of on disk caution if you deactivate and re enable pitr then any existing logs are deleted and you won t be able to perform pitr earlier than the time that you re enabled it enabling and deactivating pitr requires restarting the database log retention period cloud sql retains transaction logs in cloud storage for up to the value set in the transactionlogretentiondays pitr configuration setting this value can range from 1 to 35 days for cloud sql enterprise plus edition and 1 to 7 days for cloud sql enterprise edition if a value for this parameter isn t set then the default transaction log retention period is 14 days for cloud sql enterprise plus edition instances and 7 days for cloud sql enterprise edition instances for more information on how to set the transaction log retention days see set transaction log retention although an instance stores the binary logs used for pitr in cloud storage the instance also keeps a smaller number of duplicate binary logs on disk to allow for replication of the logs to cloud storage by default when you create an instance with pitr enabled the instance stores its binary logs for pitr in cloud storage cloud sql also sets the value of the expire_logs_days and binlog_expire_logs_seconds flags to the equivalent of one day automatically this translates to one day of logs on disk for pitr binary logs that are stored on disk that are being switched to cloud storage or that are already switched to cloud storage cloud sql retains the logs for the minimum value set for one of the following configu...
