In Azure Database for MySQL, performing a restore creates a new server from the original server's backups. There are two types of restore available:

8686
- Point-in-time restore: is available with either backup redundancy option and creates a new server in the same region as your original server.
87-
- Geo-restore: is available only if you configured your server for geo-redundant storage and it allows you to restore your server to either a geo-paired region or any other azure supported region where flexible server is available. Please note, feature of geo-restore to other regions is currently supported in public preview.

Ability to restore to any non-paired Azure supported region (except `Brazil South`, `USGov Virginia` and `West US 3)` is known as "Universal Geo-restore"

Geo-restore is the default recovery option when your server is unavailable because of an incident in the region where the server is hosted. If a large-scale incident in a region results in unavailability of your database application, you can restore a server from the geo-redundant backups to a server in any other region. Geo-restore utilizes the most recent backup of the server. There is a delay between when a backup is taken and when it is replicated to different region. This delay can be up to an hour, so, if a disaster occurs, there can be up to one hour data loss.

During geo-restore, the server configurations that can be changed include only security configuration (firewall rules and virtual network settings). Changing other server configurations such as compute, storage or pricing tier (Basic, General Purpose, or Business Critical) during geo-restore is not supported.

Geo-restore can also be performed on a stopped server leveraging Azure CLI. Read [Restore Azure Database for MySQL - Azure Database for MySQL - Flexible Server with Azure CLI](how-to-restore-server-cli.md) to learn more about geo-restoring a server with Azure CLI.

The estimated time of recovery depends on several factors including the database sizes, the transaction log size, the network bandwidth, and the total number of databases recovering in the same region at the same time.
