How Do I Implement Periodic Full Backups for My Resources?
Context
Huawei Cloud CBR by default performs a full backup for a resource in the initial backup and incremental backups in all subsequent backups.
CBR now allows for periodic full backups in addition to the initial backup. You can configure a policy to perform a full backup after every N incremental backups. This further improves backup data security and meets periodic full backup needs.
Procedure
- Log in to the CBR console.
- Choose Policies and click the Backup Policies tab. In the upper right corner, click Create Policy. See Figure 2.
- Set backup policy parameters according to Backup policy parameter description.
- Select Enable for Full Backup and set the full backup frequency. Then the system automatically checks whether the configured frequency is appropriate. If message shows that full backups cannot be executed, change the frequency. See Figure 3.
- Click OK.
- Locate the desired vault and choose More > Apply Backup Policy to apply the created policy to the vault. You can view the applied policy on the vault details page.
After the policy is applied, periodic full backups will be automatically performed based on the policy.
