Cloning Memcached Edition Instances

Last updated: 2024-09-26 16:43:43

    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.

    Required
    Explanation
    Billing Mode
    Yes
    The billing method for the clone instance is independent of the source instance. You can choose monthly subscription or pay-as-you-go. For details, see Billing Overview.
    Region
    Yes
    The region of the clone instance are identical to that of the source instance and cannot be changed.
    Recovery Method
    Yes
    Only By Backup Set cloning is supported, cloning the new instance based on the backup file.
    Backup Set
    Yes
    Select the time of the backup set.
    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

    Confirm the source instance ID and name.
    Confirm the backup time, as the clone instance will restore data based on this backup file.
    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.

    The project is set to Default Project by default.
    Click Create Project to customize a project name for managing cloud resources on the Project Management page.
