Hello @ti-chi-bot, I'm Gemini Code Assist1! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

Summary of Changes

This pull request clarifies the restrictions related to Point-in-Time Recovery (PITR) in TiDB. It adds a recommendation against backing up tables that are currently being restored, as the resulting backup data might be inconsistent. Additionally, it reiterates the restriction that log backup tasks and TiCDC replication to downstream clusters should not be performed while a PITR restore is in progress. The changes apply to the master branch and versions v9.0, v8.5, v8.4, v8.3, v8.1, and v7.5.

Highlights

  • PITR Restrictions: Clarifies that backing up tables during a PITR restore is not recommended due to potential data inconsistencies.
  • Concurrent Operations: Reinforces the restriction against running log backup tasks or using TiCDC for replication during a PITR restore.

Changelog

  • br/backup-and-restore-overview.md
    • Added a recommendation against backing up tables during PITR restore.
    • Reiterated the restriction on running log backup tasks or TiCDC during PITR restore.
