AUTO POINT IN TIME DATA RESTORE FOR INSTANCE COPY

Abstract:

Input information comprising an identifier of a production instance is received. The input information indicating a given time a live database from the production instance is to be restored to in a temporary copy of the production instance. Based at least on the input information, backup data associated with the live database from production instance is identified. Based on the backup data, it is determined whether resource capacity is available for restoring the backup data to the temporary copy of the production instance. In response to determining the resource capacity is available, the temporary copy of the production instance is generated. The backup data is restored to the temporary copy of the production instance to represent a state of the live database from the production instance at the given time.
