Data Backup

Data in GaussDB(DWS) can be backed up and restored using snapshots. A snapshot is a full or incremental backup of a GaussDB(DWS) cluster at a specific point in time. It records the current database data and cluster information, including the number of nodes, node specifications, and database administrator name. GaussDB(DWS) allows you to manually create snapshots on the management console. It can also automatically create snapshots as scheduled to prevent data loss.

Currently, GaussDB(DWS) supports backup and restoration based on OBS. For details, see Snapshot Overview.
