You can import snapshot files from Amazon Aurora or RDS for MySQL into TiDB Cloud Dedicated. These snapshots are exported as Parquet files. To ensure a successful import, your data files must follow specific naming conventions. For example, each source data file must have a .parquet suffix and be located in a folder named {db_name}.{table_name}/. For complete details, see Naming Conventions for Data Import.
The import process for snapshot files is the same as for other Parquet files. For step-by-step instructions, see Import Apache Parquet Files from Cloud Storage into TiDB Cloud Dedicated.
