 This statement is used to perform a distributed backup of the TiDB cluster.

 The `BACKUP` statement uses the same engine as the [BR tool](/br/backup-and-restore-use-cases.md) does, except that the backup process is driven by TiDB itself rather than a separate BR tool. All benefits and warnings of BR also apply in this statement.
 
 Executing `BACKUP` requires either the `BACKUP_ADMIN` or `SUPER` privilege. Additionally, both the TiDB node executing the backup and all TiKV nodes in the cluster must have read or write permission to the destination. Local storage (storage paths starting with `local://`) is not permitted when [Security Enhanced Mode](/system-variables.md#tidb_enable_enhanced_security) is enabled.

 The `RESTORE` statement uses the same engine as the [BR tool](/br/backup-and-restore-use-cases.md), except that the restore process is driven by TiDB itself rather than a separate BR tool. All benefits and caveats of BR also apply here. In particular, **`RESTORE` is currently not ACID-compliant**. Before running `RESTORE`, ensure that the following requirements are met:
 
 * The cluster is "offline", and the current TiDB session is the only active SQL connection to access all tables being restored.
