You can restore the entire backed up instance from a default database group to either the same instance or a different instance on the source server. You can also restore the instance to a different destination server.
For information about running the restore operation for the entire instance, see Restoring One or More Databases.
Note
-
During a restore operation, data directory of the destination MySQL server is overwritten. The data is not staged at any location.
-
MySQL Enterprise backup version 4.1.2 or above is needed for partial restores and Restore to Disk operation.
-
If the No lock option is enabled with MySQL enterprise backup, use a data restore. Log restores are not recommended because binlogs are skipped when No lock is enabled.
