     - [TiDB Cloud Starter](/tidb-cloud/select-cluster-tier.md#starter) removes the in-place restore feature, which means you can no longer restore a backup directly to the same cluster. This change helps prevent accidental overwrites of active production data and potential data loss.

After validating the restored data, switch your application to the new cluster.
