Triggering a Restore

You can restore the backed up data on the S3 storage.

Procedure to enable the restore operations to secure the data.

As a prerequisite, you must have backed-up your data on the S3 storage and also you must have linked the S3 storage to the secondary cluster and later perform the restore operation. The cluster configurations for both the primary and secondary clusters must be the same.

Navigate to Cloudera Management Console → Backup and Restore → Select the Backups tab.

The list of backed up data is displayed.
Select the backed up file and click on the icon and select Restore Backup.

caution
When restoring data / contents from the primary cluster to secondary cluster, the environments are automatically rewired as part of the restore process, with an option to override the default destination, if needed. You must map all environments to the new secondary Base clusters when base clusters change (when environments in the secondary cluster are configured to use a different Base cluster - likely a secondary Base cluster). Inconsistent environment mapping could cause restore operations to fail.
On the Restore Scope pane, select Full Platform or Custom Selection option.
- Full Platform backup picks up the data from the entire cluster.
- Custom selection specifically backs up from one or more entities from the following:
  - Control Plane (default)
  - Control Plane + Supported Data Services
Click Start Restore to commence restoring the selected entities.
