This tells the restore process to re-create the indexes based on the backed-up index metadata after the data is restored, so the collection is ready to load immediately.

### Restore fails with `no binlog to import`
44+
45+
This error usually means the target Milvus cannot read the restored binlog files because the bucket is misconfigured. Milvus can only read files from its own bucket — it cannot read across buckets.
46+
47+
**Why does this happen?**
48+
49+
During restore, milvus-backup copies backup data into the bucket specified by `minio.bucketName` in `backup.yaml`, then asks Milvus to import from there via BulkInsert. If that bucket is not the one the target Milvus is actually using, Milvus finds no files and returns `no binlog to import`.
50+
51+
**How to fix it?**
52+
53+
Run `./milvus-backup check config` to print the resolved configuration, and make sure `minio.bucketName` matches the bucket that the **target Milvus** is actually using. Run `./milvus-backup check` to verify connectivity.
