Stopping a Backup

Scenarios

DDS allows you to stop a backup. If an emergency operation, such as specification change or minor version upgrade, cannot be performed because the DB instance is backing up, you can stop the backup.

Precautions

• Only full backups (streaming backups) can be stopped.
• Cross-region backups cannot be stopped.
• Only backups in the Backing up or Uploading state can be stopped.
• Stopping a backup may stop incremental backup at the current point in time and may fail. Exercise caution when performing this operation.
• Stopping a backup makes a DB instance return to the Available state as soon as possible to prevent blocking the execution of other tasks. The backup task may not be terminated.
• You are not allowed to stop a critical backup. If you do need, contact O&M personnel.
• To use this function, submit a service ticket. In the upper right corner of the management console, choose Service Tickets > Create Service Ticket.
