Creating a Manual Backup

Scenarios

TaurusDB allows you to create manual backups for available DB instances. You can use these backups to restore data.

Constraints

• The system verifies the connection to the DB instance when starting a full backup task. If the backup lock failed to be obtained from the DB instance, the verification fails and a retry is automatically performed. If the retry fails, the backup will fail.
• When an account is deleted, both automated and manual backups are deleted.

Procedure

1. Log in to the management console.
2. Click in the upper left corner and select a region and project.
3. Click in the upper left corner of the page, choose Database > TaurusDB.
4. On the Instances page, locate the instance for which you want to create a manual backup and choose More > Create Backup in the Operation column.

   Alternatively, on the Instances page, click the instance name. Choose Backups in the navigation pane and click Create Backup.

5. In the displayed dialog box, enter a backup name and description and click OK.
