16 Recovery Using ZMC Sun Microsystems, Inc.
After selecting what to restore from, choose a recovery point objective (RPO). ZRM catalogs all full and incremental
backups performed. When you request a point-in-time restore, ZRM automatically finds the full backup and all the
incremental backups required to restore your database to the requested RPO.
ZRM allows you to restore to a point in time regardless of whether logical-, raw-, or snapshot-based backup was
executed; the only requirement is that you have set up incremental backups as well.
Figure 8. Restore What Page
Depending on how you determined the RPO, you can launch the restore page in several ways:
● Click one of the timestamp links included in any successful backup report.
● Identify the recovery point in the Database Events Viewer and click the timestamp of the given event.
● Open the Restore What page and restore from the last full backup or any other date on which a successful
backup was completed.
You can restore to a MySQL server that differs from the original backup source. You can also use restores to
instantiate new MySQL replication slaves.
This simplified restore work flow is the same regardless of the storage engine and backup method used. When
recovering mission-critical data, having a unified recovery procedure for all MySQL servers helps ensure efficient,
dependable, and stress-free recoveries.
