MySQL restore

Restore is an integral part of a MySQL protection strategy. Veeam provides multiple options of MySQL restores depending on the backup method. Let’s go through the option for each backup method.

Database online dump during backup operations

For this backup option, Veeam provides following restore options depending on the type of failure:

Failure Restore option
Server failed Instant server restore
Database or application level failure Guest file level restore

Online dump to staging server

Failure Restore option
Database failure Instant file level restore
