Creating a Desktop Backup

1. Go to the Buy Desktop Backup Vault page.
2. Set mandatory parameters for the desktop backup vault based on the parameter description table. Retain default values for the parameters that are not included in this table.

   Configure Basic Settings, Protection Type, Resources to Back Up, and Vault Capacity.

   

   Parameter	Example Value	Description
   Billing Mode	Pay-per-use	Pay-per-use is a postpaid billing mode. You are billed based on your resource usage and you can add or delete resources anytime. Fees are deducted from your account balance. Yearly/Monthly is a prepaid billing mode. You are billed based on the subscription duration you specify. This mode is ideal when the resource use duration is predictable. A longer subscription often means a lower cost.
   Region	CN-Hong Kong	Resources in different regions cannot communicate with each other over an intranet. Select the region closest to you to achieve low latency.
   Resources to Back Up	Skip	Configure: Select the desktops to be associated with the vault. Skip: If no desktop is available, you can purchase the vault first and associate desktops with the vault later.
   Vault Capacity	100 GB	Specify the vault capacity. The capacity ranges from 10 GB to 10,485,760 GB. This capacity indicates the total size of the desktops that you want to associate with this vault. You need to properly plan the vault capacity, which must be at least as large as the desktops you want to back up. As the vault's used space grows, you can expand the vault capacity if it becomes insufficient.

   Configure Backup Policy, Enterprise Project, and Advanced Settings.

   

   Parameter	Example Value	Description
   Auto Backup	Skip	Configure: A backup policy can be applied to this vault. Resources associated with this vault will be automatically backed up based on the policy. You can select an existing backup policy or create a new one. Skip: Resources associated with this vault will not be automatically backed up until you apply a backup policy to the vault. If you need to automatically back up data periodically, you can create a policy and apply it to the vault. For details, see Policy Management.
   Enterprise Project	default	Add the vault to an existing enterprise project. This parameter is displayed only for enterprise users who have enabled enterprise project management. NOTE: If an IAM user has been assigned the CBR FullAccess policy but cannot view or select enterprise projects when creating a vault, the administrator must grant the CBR FullAccess policy for the enterprise project to the user group in the IAM console.
   Vault Name	vault-105d	Specify a name for the vault. The name can contain 1 to 64 characters. Only letters, digits, dots, underscores (_), and hyphens (-) are allowed. You can also use the default name vault_xxxx.

3. Click Next.
4. Click Submit. Confirm the order details and complete the payment.
5. Return to the Desktop Backups page. You can view the created vault in the vault list. The vault is in the Available state.

Prerequisites

A Workspace desktop can be backed up only when its status is Available or In-use. If you have performed operations such as expanding, attaching, detaching, or deleting a desktop, refresh the page first to ensure that the operation is complete and then determine whether to back up the desktop.

Procedure

1. On the Desktop Backups page, click the Vaults tab and find the vault with which the desktop is associated.
2. Click Perform Backup in the Operation column. In the desktop list, select the desktop you want to back up. The selected desktop will be added to the list of selected desktops.

   

3. Set Name and Description for the backup.

   Parameter	Description	Example Value
   Name	Name of the backup you are creating. The name must contain 1 to 64 characters including digits, letters, underscores (_), or hyphens (-). NOTE: You can also use the default name manualbk_xxxx. If multiple desktops are to be backed up, CBR automatically adds suffixes to their backup names, for example, backup-0001 and backup-0002.	manualbk_d819
   Description	Description of the backup. It cannot exceed 255 characters.	--

4. Click OK. CBR automatically creates a backup for the desktop.

   On the Backups tab, if the status of the backup is Available, the backup task is successful.

   

   If you delete data from the desktop during the backup, the deleted data may not be backed up. To ensure data integrity, wait until the backup is complete, delete the target data, and perform the backup again.

   To ensure data security, when you perform manual backups, a full backup is performed after 100 incremental backups by default.
