Expanding the Backup Vault Associated with a FlexusL Instance

Scenarios

Ensure that the capacity of the vault associated with the FlexusL instance is sufficient, or the backup will fail. You can expand the vault capacity as needed. This section describes how to expand the vault capacity on the FlexusL console. For details about how to expand the vault capacity on the CBR console, see Expanding Vault Capacity.

Constraints

  • The vault capacity can only be expanded. It cannot be reduced.
  • The disk can only be expanded when the server is Running or Stopped.

Billing

The expanded capacity is billed.

Procedure

  1. Log in to the FlexusL console and click a resource card to go to the instance details page.
  2. Choose Cloud Backup Vaults and click Expand Capacity.

  3. On the displayed page, enter a new capacity.

    The vault capacity must be at least as big as the servers you want to back up. If the vault capacity is smaller than the total capacity to be backed up, the backup task will fail. For example, if your system disk and data disks use 80 GiB, the vault capacity must be greater than 80 GiB. Otherwise, the backup will fail.

  4. Click Buy Now and complete the payment as prompted.

    After the purchase, check whether the vault capacity has increased on the console.
