Creating an SFS Turbo Backup
Scenarios
This section describes how to quickly purchase an SFS Turbo backup vault and perform backup.
Operation Process
Step |
Description |
---|---|
Register with Huawei Cloud, complete real-name authentication, top up your account, and create an IMA user. |
|
Purchase an SFS Turbo backup vault to store SFS Turbo backups. |
|
Associate your SFS Turbo file systems with a vault to back up and replicate data. |
|
Create SFS Turbo backups to protect data. |
Making Preparations
- Sign up forHuawei Cloud.
- To sign up a HUAWEI ID and enable Huawei Cloud services, see Signing Up for a HUAWEI ID and Enabling Huawei Cloud Services.
- To complete real-name authentication, see Individual Real-Name Authentication.
If you already have a Huawei account, skip this step.
- Top up your account.
- To view detailed CBR pricing, see Product Pricing Details.
- To top up an account, see Topping Up an Account.
Purchasing an SFS Turbo Backup Vault
Before backing up data, you need to purchase an SFS Turbo backup vault.
- Go to the Buy Disk Backup Vault page.
- Set mandatory parameters for the SFS Turbo backup vault based on the parameter description table. For parameters not included in this table, retain the default values.
Configure Basic Settings, Protection Type, and Resources to Back Up.
Parameter
Example Value
Description
Billing Mode
Pay-per-use
- 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 anytime. Fees are deducted from your account balance.
Region
CN-Hong Kong
Resources in different regions cannot communicate with each other over an intranet. Select the region closest to you to enjoy low latency.
Protection Type
Backup
- Backup: An SFS Turbo backup vault stores SFS Turbo backups.
- Replication (cross-region): An SFS Turbo replication vault stores replicas of SFS Turbo backups. If you select Replication, you do not need to select an SFS Turbo file system.
Backup Data Redundancy
Single-AZ
- 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.
Resources to Back Up
Skip
- Configure: Select the SFS Turbo file systems to be associated.
- Skip: If no SFS Turbo file system is available, you can purchase the vault first and associate SFS Turbo file systems later.
Configure Backup Capacity, Backup Policy, Enterprise Project and Advanced Settings.
Parameter
Example Value
Description
Backup Capacity
100 GB
Specify the vault capacity. The capacity ranges from 10 GB to 10485760 GB.
This capacity indicates the total size of the file systems that you want to associate with this vault. You need to properly plan the vault capacity, which must be at least the same as the size of the file systems you want to back up.
As the vault's used space grows, you can expand the vault capacity if it becomes insufficient.
Auto Backup
Skip
- Configure: A backup policy can be applied to this vault. Resources associated with this vault will be automatically backed up based on the policy. You can select an existing backup policy or create a new one.
- Skip: Resources associated with this vault will not be automatically backed up until you apply a backup policy to the vault. If you need to automatically back up data periodically, you can create a policy and apply it to the vault. For details, see Policy Management.
Enterprise Project
default
Add the vault to an existing enterprise project.
This parameter is displayed only for enterprise users who have enabled enterprise project management.
NOTE:
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 and assign the CBR FullAccess permissions to the target user group.
Vault Name
vault-f9ed
Specify a name for the vault.
A name must contain 1 to 64 characters including digits, letters, underscores (_), or hyphens (-). You can also use the default name vault_xxxx.
- Click Next.
- Click Submit. Confirm the order details and complete the payment.
- Go back to the SFS Turbo Backups page. You can see the created vault in the vault list.
Associating SFS Turbo File Systems
The selected servers must have not been associated with any vault and must be in the Running or Stopped state.
If you have associated file systems when purchasing a vault, skip this step.
Prerequisites
- The selected file systems must have not been associated with any vault and must be in the Available state.
Procedure
- On the SFS Turbo Backups page, locate the target vault and click Associate File System in the Operation column.
- In the resource list, select the resources you want to associate with the vault. After resources are selected, they are added to the list of selected resources.
- Click OK. Then on the Associated File Systems tab page, you can view resources that have been associated.
For details about automatic association, see Associating Resources to a Vault.
Creating an SFS Turbo Backup
After resources are associated, CBR will automatically back up your data, or you can back up data manually. Only servers in the Running or Stopped state can be backed up.
To ensure data integrity, you are advised to back up the file system during off-peak hours when no data is written to the file system.
Peak hours of the backup service are from 22:00 to 08:00, during which there may be delays. So you are advised to evaluate your service types and schedule backups in discrete time periods.
Prerequisites
A file system can be backed up only when its status is Available or In-use. If you have performed operations such as expanding, mounting, unmounting, or deleting a file system, refresh the page first to ensure that the operation is complete and then determine whether to back up the file system.
Procedure
- On the SFS Turbo Backups page, click the Vaults tab and find the vault to which the file system is associated.
- Click Perform Backup in the Operation column. In the file system list, select the file system to be backed up. After a file system is selected, it is added to the list of selected file systems.
- Set Name and Description for the backup.
Parameter
Description
Example Value
Name
Name of the backup you are creating.
A name must contain 1 to 64 characters including digits, letters, underscores (_), or hyphens (-).
NOTE:
You can also use the default name manualbk_xxxx.
If multiple file systems are to be backed up, the system automatically adds suffixes to their backup names, for example, backup-0001 and backup-0002.
manualbk_d819
Description
Description of the backup.
It cannot exceed 255 characters.
--
- Click OK. CBR automatically creates a backup for the file system.
On the Backups tab page, if the status of the backup is Available, the backup task is successful.
NOTE:
If you delete data from the file system during the backup, the deleted data may fail to be backed up. To ensure data integrity, delete the target data after the backup is complete, and then perform the backup.
To ensure data security, when you perform manual backups, a full backup is performed after 100 incremental backups by default.
Related Information
- After the backup is complete, you can create a new SFS Turbo file system using the backup. For details, see Using a Backup to Create a File System.
