Creating a BMS Backup
- On the Cloud Server Backups page, click the Vaults tab and locate the vault that is associated with the server.
- Click Perform Backup in the Operation column. In the server list, select the server you want to back up. After a server is selected, it is added to the list of selected servers.
- Set Name and Description for the backup.

Example Value
Name
Name of the backup to be created.
Only letters, digits, underscores (_), and hyphens (-) are allowed. Maximum length: 64 characters
NOTE:You can also use the default name manualbk_xxxx.
If multiple servers are backed up, the system automatically adds suffixes to their backup names, for example, backup-0001 and backup-0002.

- Determine whether to enable Full Backup. If full backup is enabled, the system will perform a full backup for every associated server. This requires more capacity than an incremental backup.
By default, the first backup is a full backup, and subsequent backups are incremental backups.
For data security reasons, after 100 incremental backups are performed, a full backup will be performed by default.
For details, see What Are Full Backup and Incremental Backup?
- Click OK. The system automatically creates a backup for the server.
On the Backups tab, when the status of the backup changes to Available, the backup task is successful.
When manually backing up a cloud server, you can restart the server after the backup progress exceeds 10%. However, to ensure data integrity, avoid restarting it before the backup is complete.
