Uploading Backup Files

This section describes how to upload backup files.

1. Create an OBS bucket and upload the backup file to the OBS bucket.
   

   • If the size of the file uploaded at a time does not exceed 5 GB, select Standard for Storage Class and Public Read for Bucket Policy on the OBS console.
   • If you want to upload multiple files in batches (up to 100 files can be uploaded at a time and the total size of the files cannot exceed 5 GB) or upload files greater than 5 GB at a time, download and install the OBS Browser+ client. For details, see Object Storage Service Client Guide.

     You are advised to store backup files in independent OBS buckets in the same region to distinguish the backup files from other public files.

     Before uploading the backup file, create access keys (AK and SK) in the OBS console. For details, see Creating Access Keys (AK and SK).
