Exporting a Backup to OBS

To migrate GES data across regions, you can export backup files to OBS.

• Graphs of the database edition do not support this function.
• Only graphs of memory edition 2.3.16 or later support this function. To export graphs of an earlier version, you need to upgrade the graphs by referring to Upgrading a Graph, and then export the graphs.
• You need to back up the graph on the Graph Management page so that the graph can be displayed on the Backup Management page. For details, see Backing Up a Graph.
• On the Backup Management page, only graphs whose Graph Status is Running and Status is Successful can be exported to OBS. Otherwise, the Export button is unavailable.

  

1. Log in to the GES management console and choose Backup Management from the navigation pane on the left.
2. In the backup list, select the backup to be exported and click Export in the Operation column.
3. In the dialog box that is displayed, verify that the backup information is correct and select an OBS path.

   Note that the OBS export path can only be an empty directory, and after the export, the graph data files under that directory cannot be deleted, added, or modified. Otherwise, the backup will fail when importing from OBS to the graph.

4. Click OK to back up the graph.
   

   Storing backup files in OBS will incur charges. For details, see OBS Billing.

5. After the task is delivered, you can view its execution status on the Task Center page.
