8.2.14. MySQL cloning

Important points:

  • Settings are always taken from the current copy of the instance (they are not stored in backups)
  • When cloning from a backup, all databases, users, and privileges that were in use at the time the backup was created are copied.

Cloning is performed in the "MySQL" section on the "Cloning" tab:

Cloning is possible both from the current instance copy and from any of the previously created backups.

  1. Click "Create new instance from backup".
  2. Fill out the form and click "Create new instance from backup":
    • "Backup date" — the current copy or one of the previously created backups (the "Databases" field displays a list of databases for the selected copy).
    • "Name" — name of the new instance.
    • "Plan" — plan of the new instance.

After the operation is completed, a new MySQL instance with the selected data will be deployed.
