Creating an SFS Turbo Backup

This section describes how to quickly create an SFS Turbo file system backup.

To ensure data integrity, you are advised to back up the file system during off-peak hours when no data is written to the file system.

The backup service experiences peak usage between 22:00 and 08:00, during which delays may occur. To ensure optimal performance, it is recommended that you evaluate your service types and stagger backups across discrete time periods.

Prerequisites

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

Procedure

  1. Log in to the CBR console.

    1. Log in to the management console.
    2. In the upper left corner, click and select a region.
    3. Click and choose Storage > Cloud Backup and Recovery > SFS Turbo Backups.

  2. On the SFS Turbo Backups page, click the Vaults tab and find the vault to which the file system is associated.
  3. Perform backup in either of the following ways:

    • Click Perform Backup in the Operation column. In the file system list, select the file system you want to back up. After a file system is selected, it is added to the list of selected file systems.
    • Click the vault name to go to the vault details page. On the Associated File Systems tab, locate the target file system and click Perform Backup in the Operation column.

  4. Set Name and Description for the backup.

    NOTE:

  5. Click OK. CBR automatically creates a backup for the file system.

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

    • If you delete data from the file system during the backup, the deleted data may fail to be backed up. Therefore, to ensure data integrity, delete the target data after the backup is complete, and then perform the backup.

    After the backup is complete, you can create a new SFS Turbo file system using the backup. For details, see Creating a File System from an SFS Turbo Backup.
