Hello, I need to get data from a backup of my production MYSql instance without sending in production that backup. It is possibile to just download that backup on my computer?
Thank you

Assuming you mean the actual railway backups feature, according to this page when you restore a backup it will restore it to a new volume and the old volume will remain intact just unmounted. Since that change is only staged by the restore button, you should be able to swap the mounts back around again before committing the change and attach the restored volume to something else that allows you export the data? For MySQL you can attach it to another service running MySQL and connect to it to export data.

(I don't have access to this feature to check so its all a guess based off docs)
thank you, I mean this function. If I click on restore I get the windows about "Are you sure you want to restore?" attached. I can't restore the database in production, it would be a problem for us.

Erisa could not be more correct here, I've done it the way they are describing a few times, so please follow their instructions.
