You can restore Kudu tables to their current location (in place), to a different set of tables on the same cluster or a different cluster (out of place).
Staging Path
Restore operations stage data at the staging path that was defined while creating the instance. The recommended maximum size for the staging path is equal to the number of access nodes in the destination Kudu instance multiplied by the size of the biggest table selected for restore. The staged data is cleaned up after a successful restore.
