Data Disaster Recovery (formerly DBS) — supported database types

Important

If the data source contains Chinese table names or field names, data recovery fails. Join the DingTalk group (ID: 35585947) to report the issue or submit a ticketsubmit a ticket.

Data Disaster Recovery supports the following database categories:

Relational databases: Alibaba Cloud databases; self-managed databases on Elastic Compute Service (ECS) instances; on-premises databases; third-party cloud databases
NoSQL databases: MongoDB, Redis
Logical backup: MySQL, MariaDB, PolarDB (for PostgreSQL, for MySQL, for PostgreSQL Compatible with Oracle, and PolarDB-X), SQL Server, Oracle, Redis, MongoDB

Disaster recovery data source

The disaster recovery data source module supports creating backups from:

Alibaba Cloud databases: ApsaraDB RDS for MySQL, ApsaraDB RDS for PostgreSQL, ApsaraDB RDS for SQL Server, and PolarDB for MySQL
Self-managed databases on ECS instances: MySQL
On-premises and third-party cloud databases: MySQL

Recovery Point Objective (RPO) is the maximum acceptable data loss measured as the point in time to which data can be restored after a disaster.

Cross-account backup and restore is supported for Alibaba Cloud databases. For details, see Back up and restore data across Alibaba Cloud accounts.
