Deleting your cluster
If you no longer need a particular cluster, you can delete it from the BigAnimal portal. You can restore deleted clusters after you delete the cluster for as long as the backup is available. The backup remains available for the retention period set for each cluster. After the retention period, the backup is deleted.
To stop the management costs on the cluster, contact EDB's BigAnimal Support team, Otherwise, costs might continue to accumulate.

Restore your cluster
You can restore your deleted cluster for as long as the backup is available.
Select the Delete tab on the Clusters page in the BigAnimal portal.
Select the Restore icon for the cluster you want to restore.
On the Restore Cluster page, review your selections in the Cluster Summary. Select Restore Cluster to begin the restore process.

Note
To restore a TDE enabled cluster, the TDE key material must match with source cluster encryption key material. In case a different key material is used the restore operation fails.
We recommend, not to enable TDE while restoring a cluster, if the source cluster is a non-TDE cluster.
