Cloning Memcached Edition Instances

Overview
Based on an existing backup file, you can clone a Memcached instance to analyze historical data. You can also achieve a rollback by swapping the IP of the cloned new instance with the original instance.
Prerequisites
The data has already been backed up, and a backup file has been generated. For backup operations, see Backup Data.
The current instance status is Running, with no other tasks in progress.
Directions
1. Log in to the TencentDB for Redis® console.
2. At the top of the instance list on the right side, select the region where the Memcached instance is located.
3. In the instance list, find the target instance and click Instance ID to enter the Instance Details page.
4. On the Instance Details page, select the Backup and Restoration tab.
5. In the Backup List, select the time point you wish to restore the clone instance from based on the backup time. In the Operation column, click Clone Instance.
﻿
6. On the Clone TencentDB for Redis® Instance purchase page, see the parameter explanations in the table below and configure the clone instance based on your needs.

Product Version
Yes
The product version and architecture of the clone instance are identical to that of the source instance and cannot be changed.
Clone Backup
Yes
Confirm the source instance ID and name.

Specs Preview
Yes
The specifications of the clone instance are identical to that of the source instance. Preview the maximum number of connections and network throughput supported by the clone instance.
Network
Yes
Currently, only VPC is supported.
AZ
Yes
The clone instance does not support the option to Multi-AZ Deployment. The deployment of the clone instance (single or multi-availability zone) depends on the source instance.
If the source instance is deployed in a single availability zone, specify the availability zone for the primary node of the clone instance.
If the source instance is deployed in multiple availability zones, after selecting the primary availability zone, you will also need to assign availability zones for each replica in the dropdown list. Here, x refers to the replica's number, such as Replica 1, Replica 2.
IPv4 Network
Yes
Select a specific VPC and its subnet. It is recommend to choose the same Virtual Private Cloud in the same region as your cloud server.
A VPC has a region attribute (e.g., Guangzhou), while subnets have an availability zone attribute (e.g., Guangzhou Zone 1). A VPC can be divided into one or more subnets, and different subnets within the same VPC can communicate internally by default. VPCs in different regions (or even in the same region) are isolated by default.
After you purchase the instance, switching VPCs is supported. You can also click Create VPCs and Create Subnets to create the necessary network environment. For detailed directions, see Create VPC.
Port
Yes
Custom port number. The default port is 6379, and the valid range is [1024, 65535]. After purchase, this port can be modified.
Project

Set Password
Yes
Only Password-free access is supported.
Quantity
Yes
For monthly subscription, you can purchase up to 100 instances at a time. For pay-as-you-go, you can purchase up to 30 instances at a time. The number of instances in each region can range from 1 to 100.
Validity Period
