Purchasing an SFS Turbo Backup Vault

Procedure

1. Log in to the CBR console.
   1. Log in to the management console.
   2. Click in the upper left corner and select a region.
   3. Click and choose Storage > Cloud Backup and Recovery > SFS Turbo Backups.

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 is ideal when the resource use duration is predictable. A longer subscription often means a lower cost.
   • Pay-per-use is a postpaid billing mode. You are billed based on your resource usage and you can increase or delete resources any time.

4. Select a protection type.
   • Backup: An SFS Turbo backup vault stores SFS Turbo backups.
   • Replication: An SFS Turbo replication vault stores replicas of SFS Turbo backups. If you select Replication, you do not need to select any SFS Turbo file system.

5. Select a backup data redundancy policy.
   • Single-AZ: Backup data is stored in a single AZ, with lower costs.
   • Multi-AZ: Backup data is stored in multiple AZs to achieve higher reliability.

   The backup data redundancy policy cannot be changed after a vault is purchased. Plan and select a policy that best suits your service needs.

6. (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 any vault and must be in the Available state.
   • You can also associate file systems with the vault you are creating later if you skip this step.

7. Specify a vault capacity ranging from 10 GB to 10,485,760 GB. Properly plan the vault capacity, which must be at least the same as the size of the file systems you want to back up.
8. Configure auto backup.
   • If you select Configure, you must then select an existing backup policy or create a new policy. After the vault is created, CBR will apply the policy to this vault, 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.

9. 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 enterprise project is default.

   

   If the CBR FullAccess permissions have been assigned to IAM users, enterprise projects will not be displayed for you to choose from when you create a vault. Go to the Enterprise Project Management console to add the permissions.

10. (Optional) Add tags to the vault.

    Tags are key-value pairs, which are used to identify, classify, and search for vaults. You can add a maximum of 10 tags for a vault, and vault tags are only used for vault search and management.

    If you have applied for the OBT of the Organizations service, and then your organization has enabled the tag policy type for CBR and has a tag policy attached, you must comply with the tag policy rules when creating vaults, otherwise vaults may fail to be created. Contact the organization administrator to learn more about tag policies.

    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 a key or select the key of an existing tag created in TMS. A tag key: Can contain 1 to 36 Unicode characters. Can contain only letters, digits, hyphens (-), and underscores (_).	Key_0001
    Value	A tag value can be repetitive or left blank. A tag value: Can contain 0 to 43 Unicode characters. Can contain only letters, digits, hyphens (-), and underscores (_).	Value_0001

11. Specify a name for the vault.

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

    

    You can also use the default name vault_xxxx.

12. Specify the required duration if you select yearly/monthly billing. The validity period ranges from 1 month to 5 years.

    Determine whether to enable auto renewal. If you select Auto Renewal:

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

13. Complete the payment as prompted.
14. Go back to the SFS Turbo Backups 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.
