.PP
The cluster restoration program is implemented as a separate command\-line utility
\fBndb_restore\fR, which can normally be found in the MySQL
bin
directory\&. This program reads the files created as a result of the backup and inserts the stored information into the database\&.
.PP
\fBndb_restore\fR
must be executed once for each of the backup files that were created by the
START BACKUP
command used to create the backup (see
Section\ \&17.5.3.2, \(lqUsing The MySQL Cluster Management Client to Create a Backup\(rq)\&. This is equal to the number of data nodes in the cluster at the time that the backup was created\&.

.\" restore_connect option (ndb_restore)
The
\fB\-c\fR
option is used to specify a connection string which tells
ndb_restore
where to locate the cluster management server\&. (See
Section\ \&17.3.2.3, \(lqMySQL Cluster Connection Strings\(rq, for information on connection strings\&.) If this option is not used, then
\fBndb_restore\fR
attempts to connect to a management server on
localhost:1186\&. This utility acts as a cluster API node, and so requires a free connection
\(lqslot\(rq
to connect to the cluster management server\&. This means that there must be at least one
[api]
or
[mysqld]
section that can be used by it in the cluster
config\&.ini
file\&. It is a good idea to keep at least one empty
[api]
or
[mysqld]
section in
config\&.ini
that is not being used for a MySQL server or other application for this reason (see
Section\ \&17.3.2.7, \(lqDefining SQL and Other API Nodes in a MySQL Cluster\(rq)\&.
.PP
You can verify that
\fBndb_restore\fR
is connected to the cluster by using the
\fBSHOW\fR
command in the
\fBndb_mgm\fR
management client\&. You can also accomplish this from a system shell, as shown here:
.sp
.if n \{\
.RS 4

.fi
.if n \{\
.RE
.\}
.PP
.\" restore_nodeid option (ndb_restore)
\fB\-n\fR
is used to specify the node ID of the data node on which the backups were taken\&.
.PP
The first time you run the
\fBndb_restore\fR
restoration program, you also need to restore the metadata\&. In other words, you must re\-create the database tables\(emthis can be done by running it with the
\fB\-\-restore_meta\fR
(\fB\-m\fR) option\&. Restoring the metdata need be done only on a single data node; this is sufficient to restore it to the entire cluster\&. Note that the cluster should have an empty database when starting to restore a backup\&. (In other words, you should start
\fBndbd\fR
with
\fB\-\-initial\fR
prior to performing the restore\&.)
.PP
.\" restore_skip-table-check option (ndb_restore)
It is possible to restore data without restoring table metadata\&. Prior to MySQL 5\&.1\&.17,
\fBndb_restore\fR
did not perform any checks of table schemas; if a table was altered between the time the backup was taken and when
\fBndb_restore\fR
was run,
\fBndb_restore\fR
would still attempt to restore the data to the altered table\&.
.PP
Beginning with MySQL 5\&.1\&.17, the default behavior is for
\fBndb_restore\fR
to fail with an error if table data do not match the table schema; this can be overridden using the
\fB\-\-skip\-table\-check\fR
or
\fB\-s\fR
option\&. Prior to MySQL 5\&.1\&.21, if this option is used, then
\fBndb_restore\fR
attempts to fit data into the existing table schema, but the result of restoring a backup to a table schema that does not match the original is unspecified\&.
.PP
Beginning with MySQL Cluster NDB 6\&.3\&.35, MySQL Cluster NDB 7\&.0\&.16, and MySQL Cluster NDB 7\&.1\&.5, some of the restrictions on mismatches in column definitions when restoring data using
\fBndb_restore\fR
are relaxed; when one of these types of mismatches is encountered,
\fBndb_restore\fR
does not stop with an error as it did previously, but rather accepts the data and inserts it into the target table while issuing a warning to the user that this is being done\&. This behavior occurs whether or not either of the options
\fB\-\-skip\-table\-check\fR
or
\fB\-\-promote\-attributes\fR
is in use\&. These differences in column definitions are of the following types:

.\" attribute promotion: ndb_restore
.\" ndb_restore: attribute promotion
.\" promote-attributes option (ndb_restore)
Beginning with MySQL Cluster NDB 6\&.3\&.8,
\fBndb_restore\fR
supports limited
attribute promotion
in much the same way that it is supported by MySQL replication; that is, data backed up from a column of a given type can generally be restored to a column using a
\(lqlarger, similar\(rq
type\&. For example, data from a
CHAR(20)
column can be restored to a column declared as
VARCHAR(20),
VARCHAR(30), or
CHAR(30); data from a
MEDIUMINT
column can be restored to a column of type
INT
or
BIGINT\&. See
Section\ \&16.4.1.9.2, \(lqReplication of Columns Having Different Data Types\(rq, for a table of type conversions currently supported by attribute promotion\&.
.PP
Attribute promotion by
\fBndb_restore\fR
must be enabled explicitly, as follows:
.sp
.RS 4
.ie n \{\
\h'-04' 1.\h'+01'\c
.\}
.el \{\
.sp -1
.IP "  1." 4.2
.\}
Prepare the table to which the backup is to be restored\&.
\fBndb_restore\fR
cannot be used to re\-create the table with a different definition from the original; this means that you must either create the table manually, or alter the columns which you wish to promote using
ALTER TABLE
after restoring the table metadata but before restoring the data\&.

The path to the backup directory is required; this is supplied to
\fBndb_restore\fR
using the
\fB\-\-backup_path\fR
option, and must include the subdirectory corresponding to the ID backup of the backup to be restored\&. For example, if the data node\*(Aqs
DataDir
is
/var/lib/mysql\-cluster, then the backup directory is
/var/lib/mysql\-cluster/BACKUP, and the backup files for the backup with the ID 3 can be found in
/var/lib/mysql\-cluster/BACKUP/BACKUP\-3\&. The path may be absolute or relative to the directory in which the
\fBndb_restore\fR
executable is located, and may be optionally prefixed with
\fBbackup_path=\fR\&.

Previous to MySQL 5\&.1\&.17 and MySQL Cluster NDB 6\&.1\&.5, the path to the backup directory was specified as shown here, with

Beginning with MySQL 5\&.1\&.17 and MySQL Cluster NDB 6\&.1\&.5, this syntax changed to
\fB\-\-backup_path=\fR\fB\fI/path/to/backup/files\fR\fR, to conform more closely with options used by other MySQL programs;
\fB\-\-backupid\fR
is required, and there is no short form for this option\&.

It is possible to restore a backup to a database with a different configuration than it was created from\&. For example, suppose that a backup with backup ID
12, created in a cluster with two database nodes having the node IDs
2
and
3, is to be restored to a cluster with four nodes\&. Then
\fBndb_restore\fR
must be run twice\(emonce for each database node in the cluster where the backup was taken\&. However,
\fBndb_restore\fR
cannot always restore backups made from a cluster running one version of MySQL to a cluster running a different MySQL version\&. See
Section\ \&17.2.7, \(lqUpgrading and Downgrading MySQL Cluster\(rq, for more information\&.

It is not possible to restore a backup made from a newer version of MySQL Cluster using an older version of
\fBndb_restore\fR\&. You can restore a backup made from a newer version of MySQL to an older cluster, but you must use a copy of
\fBndb_restore\fR
from the newer MySQL Cluster version to do so\&.
.PP
For example, to restore a cluster backup taken from a cluster running MySQL Cluster NDB 7\&.1\&.8 to a cluster running MySQL Cluster NDB 7\&.0\&.16, you must use the
\fBndb_restore\fR
that comes with the MySQL Cluster NDB 7\&.1\&.8 distribution\&.
.sp .5v
.RE
.PP
For more rapid restoration, the data may be restored in parallel, provided that there is a sufficient number of cluster connections available\&. That is, when restoring to multiple nodes in parallel, you must have an
[api]
or
[mysqld]
section in the cluster
config\&.ini
file available for each concurrent
\fBndb_restore\fR
process\&. However, the data files must always be applied before the logs\&.

Formerly, when using
\fBndb_restore\fR
to restore a backup made from a MySQL 5\&.0 cluster to a 5\&.1 cluster,
VARCHAR
columns were not resized and were recreated using the 5\&.0 fixed format\&. Beginning with MySQL 5\&.1\&.19,
ndb_restore
recreates such
VARCHAR
columns using MySQL Cluster 5\&.1\*(Aqs variable\-width format\&. Also beginning with MySQL 5\&.1\&.19, this behavior can be overridden using the

Beginning with MySQL Cluster NDB 6\&.3\&.29 and MySQL Cluster NDB 7\&.0\&.10, you can use

For example, the following set of options causes
\fBndb_restore\fR
to restore all tables from database
db1
except
db1\&.t1, while restoring no other tables from any other databases:
.sp
.if n \{\

.nf
\-\-include\-databases=db1 \-\-exclude\-tables=db1\&.t1
.fi
.if n \{\
.RE

.PP
However, reversing the order of the options just given simply causes all tables from database
db1
to be restored (including
db1\&.t1, but no tables from any other database), because the
\fB\-\-include\-databases\fR
option, being farthest to the right, is the first match against database
db1
and thus takes precedence over any other option that matches
db1
or any tables in
db1:

This option makes it possible to restore to a database having a different name from that used in the backup\&. For example, if a backup is made of a database named
products, you can restore the data it contains to a database named
inventory, use this option as shown here (omitting any other options that might be required):

The option can be employed multiple times in a single invocation of

In the event of conflicts between multiple

\fB\-\-rewrite\-database=db1,db3\fR
is honored, and
\fB\-\-rewrite\-database=db1,db2\fR

\fB\-\-rewrite\-database=db1,db3 \-\-rewrite\-database=db2,db3\fR
