Because the data imported through the TiDB Cloud console **does not** generate change logs, it cannot be automatically detected and backed up. For more information, see [Import CSV Files from Amazon S3 or GCS into TiDB Cloud](/tidb-cloud/import-csv-files.md). - If you turn on and off Point-in-time Restore multiple times, you can only choose a time point within the recoverable range after the most recent Point-in-time Restore is enabled. The earlier recoverable range is not accessible. - DO NOT modify the switches of **Point-in-time Restore** and **Dual Region Backup** at the same time.
