Help Center/ TaurusDB/ User Guide/ Data Backups/ Creating an Automated Backup/ Configuring a Cross-Region Backup Policy

Configuring a Cross-Region Backup Policy

Updated on 2025-02-12 GMT+08:00

Scenarios

TaurusDB can store backups in a different region from the DB instance for disaster recovery. If a DB instance in a region is faulty, you can use the backups in another region to restore data to a new DB instance.

After you enable cross-region backup, the backups are automatically stored in the region you specify.

Precautions

  • To apply for the permissions to configure cross-region backup policies, submit an application by choosing Service Tickets > Create Service Ticket in the upper right corner of the management console.
  • Cross-region backup can be enabled for up to 150 DB instances in a single region under a tenant. It is recommended that the data volume of a single DB instance be at most 2 TB. If the data volume is too large, the synchronization progress may be delayed.

  2. Click in the upper left corner and select a region and project.
  3. Click in the upper left corner of the page and choose Databases > TaurusDB.

    Figure 1 Configuring a cross-region backup policy

  6. In the displayed dialog box, set required parameters.

    Figure 2 Configuring a backup policy
    Table 2 Parameter description

    Parameter

    Description

    Cross-Region Full Backup

    If you enable this option, automated full backups of the DB instance are stored in the region you specify.

    Cross-Region Incremental Backup

    If you enable this option, incremental backups of the DB instance are stored in the region you specify.

    • To enable cross-region incremental backup, enable cross-region full backup first.
    • After cross-region incremental backup is enabled, you can restore an instance to a specified point in time only after the next automated full backup replication is complete. The specified point in time must be later than the time when the automated full backup is complete.

    Region

    Select the region for storing backups.

    Retention Period

    Cross-region backup files can be retained from 1 to 1,825 days.

  7. Click OK.
  8. On the Cross-Region Backups tab of the Backups page, manage cross-region backups.

    Figure 3 Cross-region backups
    • By default, all instances with cross-region backups are displayed.

      To modify the cross-region backup policy, click Set Cross-Region Backup in the Operation column.

      To view generated cross-region backup files, click View Cross-Region Backup in the Operation column. If a DB instance fails, you can use the cross-region backups to restore data to a new DB instance.

      Full or incremental backups can be resorted to a new DB instance. Select the backup you want to restore and click Restore in the Operation column.
      Figure 4 Full backups
      Figure 5 Incremental backups

      Incremental backups can be restored to a point in time. You need to select a time range, select or enter a time point within the acceptable range.

      Figure 6 Restoring an incremental backup to a point in time
    • To view all cross-region backups, click View All Backups.

      To restore a backup, locate the backup and click Restore in the Operation. For details, see Restoring a DB Instance from a Cross-region Backup.
