Restore a Backup
You can restore an Oracle Java Cloud Service instance to a previous state.
Java Cloud Service restores your instance’s configuration from a selected backup. You can also choose whether to restore the Oracle software (binary files) to its current official patch level, or to leave the software unchanged. If you choose to restore the software, it is restored from an image maintained internally to Oracle Cloud. The software is not restored to the point in time at which the backup was created.
If you performed a scaling operation after the backup was created, the topology of the service instance and the topology of the backup might not be the same. The restore operation can automatically remove nodes that you added to the service instance after the backup was created. However, the restore operation cannot add missing nodes to the service instance that were removed after the backup was created.
Java Cloud Service does not restore the database associated with your service instance. Prior to restoring a backup, you must restore from the corresponding database backup as identified by its RMAN tag or timestamp.
Wait for any maintenance operations on this service instance to complete, such as patching or scaling operations, before you begin.
