Backup Principles

DDM instances cannot be backed up manually. The system automatically backs up them from 02:00 to 03:00 GMT+08:00 every day. Metadata backup can also be triggered by any of the key operations such as deleting a schema, clearing source data after shard configuration, and deleting a DDM instance.

Figure 1 illustrates the backup process.

The metadata database stores information of your DDM instances and their associated data nodes. All of your DDM instances in different regions share the same metadata database.
