Create a restoration task - Security Center - Alibaba Cloud Documentation Center

If the data in your database is encrypted by ransomware, you can create a restoration task to restore the encrypted data and reduce loss. This topic describes how to create a restoration task and view the status of the restoration task.

Prerequisites

An anti-ransomware policy is created for your database and is enabled. Data can be backed up based on the policy.
The number of backup versions is not zero.

Procedure

Log on to the Security Center console. In the top navigation bar, select the region of the asset that you want to manage. You can select China or Outside China.In the left-side navigation pane, choose Protection Configuration > Host Protection > Anti-ransomware.
In the anti-ransomware policy list of the Database extortion virus protection tab, find the database whose data you want to restore and click Restore in the Actions column.

In the Restoration dialog box, configure the parameters.

The parameters vary based on database engines.

Important If you have a server that runs the same operating system as the original server hosting the database and a protection server is protected for the server, you can restore your data to the server. However, you cannot restore the data to a server that runs a different operating system from the original server.
