Creating a BMS Backup
- On the Cloud Server Backups page, click the Vaults tab and locate the vault that is associated with the server.
- Click Perform Backup in the Operation column. In the server list, select the server you want to back up. After a server is selected, it is added to the list of selected servers.
- Set Name and Description for the backup.

Name of the backup to be created.
A name contains a maximum of 64 characters. Only letters, digits, underscores (_), and hyphens (-) are allowed.

- Determine whether to enable Full Backup. If full backup is enabled, the system will perform a full backup for every associated server. This requires a larger capacity compared with an incremental backup.
By default, the first backup is a full backup, and subsequent backups are incremental backups.
For details, see What Are Full Backup and Incremental Backup?
- Click OK. The system automatically creates a backup for the server.
On the Backups tab, when the status of the backup changes to Available, the backup task is successful.
When manually backing up a cloud server, you can restart the server after the backup progress exceeds 10%. However, to ensure data integrity, you are not advised to restart it until the backup is complete.
