The restore operation is asynchronous - the database status will reflect the progress of the operation. By default the source database is restored in place and its current data is replaced. Optionally pass `target_database_id` in the body to restore the backup into a different database; the target must be in the same cluster, of the same database type, and on the same major version as the source. ## OpenAPI ````yaml https://api.sevalla.com/v3/openapi.json post /databases/{id}/backups/{backup_id}/restore openapi: 3.1.0 info: title: Sevalla API docs version: 1.0.0 servers: - url: https://api.sevalla.com/v3 security: - bearerAuth: [] paths: /databases/{id}/backups/{backup_id}/restore: post: tags: - Databases summary: Restore database backup description: >- Restore a database from a specific backup.
