Restoring from a backup into a new cache
You can restore an existing backup from Valkey into a new Valkey cache or node-based cluster, and restore an existing Redis OSS backup into a new Redis OSS cache or node-based cluster. You can also restore an existing Memcached serverless cache backup into a new Memcached serverless cache.
Note
ElastiCache Serverless supports RDB files compatible with Valkey 7.2 and above, and Redis OSS versions between 5.0 and the latest version available.
