+ `TiCDC` pulls `TiKV` change logs, sorts captured data, and exports row-based incremental data to downstream databases.
  + Recommended for `TiDB v5.0` and later
+ `TiDB Binlog` collects `binlog` data from `TiDB` and provide near real-time backup and replication to downstream platforms.
+ Backup type is **`Hot`**
