Procedure

1. Log in to CBR Console.
   1. Log in to the management console.
   2. Click in the upper left corner and select your region and project.
   3. Choose Storage > Cloud Backup and Recovery > SFS Turbo Backup.

2. In the upper right corner of the page, click Buy SFS Turbo Backup Vault.
3. Select a billing mode.
   • Yearly/monthly is a prepaid billing mode. You are billed based on the subscription duration you specify. This mode provides lower prices and is ideal when the resource use duration is predictable.
   • Pay-per-use is a postpaid billing mode. You are billed based on your resource usage. With this mode, you can increase or delete resources at any time. Fees are deducted from your account balance.

4. Select a protection type.
   • Backup: The created vault is a server backup vault, which stores cloud server backups.
   • Replication: The created vault is an SFS Turbo replication vault, which stores the replicas of SFS Turbo file system backups. If you select Replication, you do not need to select an SFS Turbo file system.

5. (Optional) In the file system list, select the file systems to be backed up. After file systems are selected, they are added to the list of selected file systems. See Figure 1.
   Figure 1 Selecting file systems

   

   

   • The selected file systems must have not been associated with a vault and must be in the Available state.
   • You can associate file systems with the vault you are creating if you skip this step.

6. Specify the vault capacity. This capacity indicates the total size of the file systems that you want to associate with this vault. You need to properly plan the vault capacity, which must be at least the same as the size of the file systems you want to back up. The capacity ranges from 10 GB to 10485760 GB.
7. Configure automatic backup.
   • If you select Configure, you must then select an existing backup policy or create a new one. After the vault is created, the system associates the vault with this backup policy, and all file systems associated with this vault will be automatically backed up based on this policy.
   • If you select Skip, file systems associated with this vault will not be automatically backed up until you apply a backup policy to the vault.

8. If you have subscribed to the EPS service, add the vault to an existing enterprise project.

   EPS provides a unified method to manage cloud resources by project, allowing you to manage resources, users, and user groups in your projects. The default project name is default.

   

   If the CBR FullAccess policy has been assigned to IAM users, enterprise projects cannot be displayed and selected when you create a vault. Go to the Enterprise Project Management console to add the permissions.

9. (Optional) Add tags to the vault.

   A tag is represented in the form of a key-value pair. Tags are used to identify, classify, and search for vaults. Vault tags are used to filter and manage vaults only. A vault can have a maximum of 10 tags.

   Table 1 describes the parameters of a tag.

   Table 1 Tag parameter description

   Parameter	Description	Example Value
   Key	Each tag has a unique key. You can customize the key or select the key of an existing tag created in TMS. The naming rules for a tag key are as follows: It contains 1 to 36 Unicode characters. It can contain only letters, digits, hyphens (-), and underscores (_).	Key_0001
   Value	A tag value can be repetitive or left blank. The naming rules for a tag value are as follows: It contains 0 to 43 Unicode characters. It can contain only letters, digits, hyphens (-), and underscores (_).	Value_0001

10. Specify a name for the vault.

    A name must contain 1 to 64 characters including digits, letters, underscores (_), or hyphens (-), for example, vault-612c.

    

    You can use the default name, which is in the format of vault_xxxx.

11. When the billing mode is Yearly/Monthly, select the subscription duration. The validity period ranges from 1 month to 3 years.

    Determine whether to enable auto renewal. If Auto Renewal is selected:

    • Your subscription will be renewed each month for monthly billing.
    • Your subscription will be renewed each year for yearly billing.

12. Pay for the order as prompted.
13. Go back to the SFS Turbo Backup page. You can see the created vault in the vault list.

    You can associate file systems to the new vault or perform backup for the file systems. For details, see Vault Management.
