 When entering the log restore phase during the initial restore, `br` creates a `__TiDB_BR_Temporary_Log_Restore_Checkpoint` database in the target cluster. This database records checkpoint data, the upstream cluster ID, and the restore time range (`start-ts` and `restored-ts`). If restore fails during this phase, you need to specify the same `start-ts` and `restored-ts` as recorded in the checkpoint database when retrying. Otherwise, `br` will report an error and prompt that the current specified restore time range or upstream cluster ID is different from the checkpoint record.

 When the backup and restore feature backs up data, it stores statistics in JSON format within the `backupmeta` file. When restoring data, it loads statistics in JSON format into the cluster. For more information, see [LOAD STATS](/sql-statements/sql-statement-load-stats.md).

When the br restore data in a new cluster and the IDs of tables and partitions can be reused (otherwise, it will automatically fall back to logically load statistic data), by setting `--fast-load-sys-tables`, br will use the `RENAME TABLE` DDL to atomically swap the system tables in the database `__TiDB_BR_Temporary_mysql` with the system tables in the database `mysql`.

 BR supports encrypting backup data at the backup side and [at the storage side when backing up to Amazon S3](/br/backup-and-restore-storages.md#amazon-s3-server-side-encryption). You can choose either encryption method as required.

 ## Restore a database or a table
 
 You can use `br` to restore partial data of a specified database or table from backup data. This feature allows you to filter out data that you do not need during the restore.
