Transferring Backups to a Specified OBS Bucket

You can transfer the generated automated or manual backups to a specified OBS bucket.

To manually transfer backups, submit a service ticket to request required permissions.

Only physical backup files can be transferred to a specified OBS bucket.
When being transferred to an OBS bucket, encrypted backups will be decrypted first.
The maximum size of a single backup that can be transferred each time is 10 TB. If this limit is exceeded, the transfer task will fail.
Ensure that the target OBS bucket is available and has enough space. Otherwise, the transfer task will fail.
Expired or deleted backups will not be transferred.
Deleting the instance during a transfer will cause the transfer task to fail.
You need to configure permissions and add system roles for manual OBS transfer. For details, see Permissions.
The transfer speed depends on the OBS upload rate, and the estimated time required may fluctuate.
Backups transferred to OBS cannot be directly restored to RDS for MySQL instances. If you want to restore the backups, restore them to a self-managed MySQL database first, and then migrate the self-managed MySQL database to RDS for MySQL.
