A system responds to a request to enable a restoration capability for a first database instance of a first operating environment. The system stores, in the first operating environment, transaction data for the first database instance and data indicative of aspects of the configuration of the first operating environment on which the first database instance is dependent. The transaction data and configuration data are replicated to a second environment. In response to a request to restore the first database instance, a second operating environment is configured according to the replicated configuration data, and the data is restored to a second database instance, in the second operating environment, based on the replicated transaction data.

Point-in-time restore with delayed instantiation

A distributed system responds to a request to enable restoration capability for a database instance by beginning a process for monitoring configuration changes made to a first operating environment of a first database instance. The system identifies a configuration change on which the database instance is dependent, and stores a record of the configuration change. The record is provided to a second operating environment. The second operating environment is configured, based on the record of the configuration change, to have configuration settings corresponding to the first operating environment as of the restoration point in time. The database instance is restored to the second operating environment.

Database operational compatibility safeguards

A distributed system responds to a request to enable a restoration capability for a database instance by beginning a process for replicating configuration and transaction data for the database instance. The system associates the replicated configuration and transaction data with a first account and a second account, and prevents termination of the replication process except where consent for the termination is provided by both accounts. In response to a request to restore the database instance, the distributed system accesses the configuration and transaction data using the second account.
