Managing a Backup

Scenarios

DSS disk backups are created using the CBR service.

This topic describes how to configure a backup policy for a disk. With backup policies configured, data on DSS disks can be periodically backed up to improve data security.

Configuring a Backup Policy

1. Log in to the management console.
2. Choose Dedicated Distributed Storage Service > Disks.

   The disk list page is displayed.

   The Configure Backup Policy dialog box is displayed.

4. In the backup policy list, locate the target backup policy to be associated and click Associate.
   

   If the disk has been associated with a backup policy, you need to disassociate the disk with its backup policy and then associate it with the new policy. For details, see Data Backup Using a Backup Policy in the Volume Backup Service User Guide.
