ApsaraDB for MongoDB allows you to create an instance based on a backup of an existing instance. The data of the new instance is recovered from that of the selected backup. This method applies to data recovery or data verification scenarios.

Prerequisites

  • The existing instance must be a standalone or replica set instance.
    Note Sharded cluster instances do not support this feature.
  • Currently, you can select a backup only in the last seven days.
  • If you create an instance based on a backup, you need to pay for the created instance. For more information about how to bill an instance, see Billing items and pricing.
  • To create a Pay-As-You-Go instance, ensure that your account balance is sufficient.
