50-50: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Fix the PITR anchor: it points to "turn on" while the text says "turn off".

The sentence tells the reader to turn off PITR before pausing a cluster, but the link anchor is #turn-on-point-in-time-restore. Point the link to the section that documents disabling PITR.

This was already flagged in a previous review and remains unresolved in this version.

#!/bin/bash
# Description: Find the correct anchor for disabling PITR in backup-and-restore.md
rg -n -i '^#+.*point-in-time restore|turn off|disable' tidb-cloud/backup-and-restore.md

Link to the instructions for disabling PITR.

This sentence tells readers to turn off PITR, but the link targets the turn-on-point-in-time-restore anchor. Replace it with the repository section that documents disabling PITR.

As per path instructions, an exact committable suggestion is not safe until the correct repository anchor is confirmed.

#!/bin/bash
set -euo pipefail
rg -n -C 4 'turn-on-point-in-time-restore|turn off|disable.*PITR|Point-in-Time Restore' tidb-cloud/backup-and-restore.md
