Requirements for cockroachDB source databases

The source database requirements are listed below:

Retrieve a comprehensive list of CockroachDB Backup’s subdirectories absolute paths by executing the following command:
CODE
```
SHOW BACKUPS IN 's3://{bucket name}/{path}?AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID={placeholder}&AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY={placeholder}';
```

CODE

SHOW BACKUPS IN 'nodelocal:/self/nfsmount/backups';

CODE

SHOW BACKUPS IN 'gs://{bucket name}/{path}?AUTH=specified&CREDENTIALS={placeholder}';

The format of the CockroachDB Backup’s subdirectory path follows a date-based naming scheme, specifically <year>/<month>/<day>-<timestamp>..

Before initiating the restoration process on the staging database, make sure to identify the following key information:

For AWS
- Storage Bucket Name (AWS S3): Record the name of the storage bucket in AWS S3, including the absolute path where CockroachDB backups are situated in AWS S3.
- AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID: The account access name or key associated with object storage holding CockroachDB backups, as it serves a crucial role in authentication.
- AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY: The account secret access key associated with the account name field. This is essentially the password that gives access to CockroachDB backups.
For GCP
- Before initiating the restoration process on the staging database, make sure to identify the following key information:
  - Storage Bucket name (GCP): Record the name of the storage bucket in GCP, including the absolute path where CockroachDB backups are situated in GCP bucket.
  - Credentials: The secret access key associated with the GCP bucket. This is essentially the password that gives access to CockroachDB backups.
- This pertinent information can be extracted from the backup command utilized for backing up the CockroachDB full cluster on GCP storage, exemplified by the following command:
  CODE
```
SHOW BACKUPS IN 'gs://{bucket name}?AUTH=specified&CREDENTIALS={placeholder}';
```

This pertinent information can be extracted from the backup command utilized for backing up the CockroachDB full cluster on AWS S3 storage, exemplified by the following command:

BACKUP INTO 's3://{BUCKET NAME}?AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID={KEY ID}&AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY={SECRET ACCESS KEY}' AS OF SYSTEM TIME '-10s';

Requirements for CockroachDB staging and target environments

The Staging and Target environments have the same set of requirements for CockroachDB.
