Creating a BMS Backup

On the Cloud Server Backups page, click the Vaults tab and locate the vault that is associated with the server.
Click Perform Backup in the Operation column. In the server list, select the server you want to back up. After a server is selected, it is added to the list of selected servers.

Set Name and Description for the backup.

Parameter	Description	Example Value
Name	Name of the backup to be created. A name contains a maximum of 64 characters. Only letters, digits, underscores (_), and hyphens (-) are allowed. NOTE: You can also use the default name manualbk_xxxx. If multiple servers are backed up, the system automatically adds suffixes to their backup names, for example, backup-0001 and backup-0002.	manualbk_d819

Description

Description of the backup to be created.

It cannot exceed 255 characters.

Determine whether to enable Full Backup. If full backup is enabled, the system will perform a full backup for every associated server. This requires a larger capacity compared with an incremental backup.

By default, the first backup is a full backup, and subsequent backups are incremental backups.

For data security, after 100 incremental backups are performed, a full backup will be performed by default.

For details, see What Are Full Backup and Incremental Backup?
Click OK. The system automatically creates a backup for the server.
On the Backups tab, when the status of the backup changes to Available, the backup task is successful.

When manually backing up a cloud server, you can restart the server after the backup progress exceeds 10%. However, to ensure data integrity, you are not advised to restart it until the backup is complete.
