Removing a Policy from a Vault

Scenarios

You can remove a policy from a vault in the following scenarios:

• Policy adjustment or upgrade: If the backup or replication frequency and retention rules defined in the current policy no longer meet service requirements, remove the existing policy and apply a new one.
• Vault usage change: If important resources in the vault have been migrated to another vault and the resources associated with the current vault no longer require periodic auto backup or replication, you can remove the policy.

If you need to cancel auto backup or replication of a vault, remove the policy from the vault, or disable the policy. This section describes how to remove a policy from a vault.

Principles

Periodic backup or replication of a vault depends on the backup or replication policy applied to it. Once the policy is removed, the vault will no longer perform scheduled backup or replication.

After the policy is removed, backups retained by quantity will not be automatically deleted, and backups retained by time will expire as scheduled.

Prerequisites

A policy has been applied to the vault.

Procedure

1. Log in to the CBR console. Click in the upper left corner and select a region.
2. Locate the target vault and click the vault name to view its details.
3. In the Policies area, click Remove Policy.

   • You can remove a policy from a vault when the vault resources are being backed up. In this case, backup tasks will continue, and backups will be generated.
   • After a policy is removed, backups retained by Time period will expire based on the retention rule, but backups retained by Backup quantity will not. You need to manually delete any backups that are no longer required.

4. Click OK. After the removal, you can go to the Policy area on the vault details page to view the results. If the policy does not exist, the removal is successful. The vault will no longer execute tasks as specified in this policy.
