For detailed billing items, see "Cloud Server Backup Service" on Product Pricing Details.

Figure 1 CSBS pay-per-use billing details

• After CSBS is used, bills on the backup function and backup storage are mandatory.
• Based on whether application-consistent backup is enabled, bills either on the cloud server backup function or the database server backup function will be generated. If application-consistent backup is enabled, only bills on the database server backup function are generated.
• If cross-region replication is used, the traffic used for replicating backups across regions will be billed.

How Do I Check the Function Fee?

1. Log in to the CSBS management console.
2. Click in the row of a backup to view its details. You can view the disk capacity in Disk Backups. See Figure 1.
   The function fee is billed based on the capacity sum of all disks.

   Figure 2 Checking the disk backup capacity
   

   Example:

   If a user has two common servers and each server has one system disk with the capacity being 40 GB and 60 GB respectively, the function fee is billed based on 100 GB (40 GB + 60 GB).

   According to the price details page, the unit price of function fee is ¥0.148/GB-month.

   The function fee to be billed every month is ¥14.8 (100 GB x ¥0.148).

   The function fee to be billed every hour is about ¥0.0206 (¥14.8/24/30).

   If the application-consistent feature is enabled, the unit price should be changed to ¥0.4/GB-month.

How Do I Check the Storage Fee?

1. Log in to the CSBS management console.
2. Click the Backups tab and then the number indicating the used storage space can be viewed in the backup overview. See Figure 3.
   Figure 3 Backup overview
   

3. In the displayed dialog box, view the storage space usage.

   Backups specifies the number of backups created for a server and Total Backup Capacity (GB) specifies the capacity used by the server's backups in total.

   Figure 4 Storage space usage
   

   Example:

   If the total backup capacity of a user is 10.171 GB, as shown in Figure 3, the storage fee is billed based on 10.171 GB.

   According to the price details page, the unit price of storage fee is ¥0.12/GB-month.

   The storage fee to be billed every month is ¥1.22052 (10.171 GB x ¥0.12).

   The storage fee to be billed every hour is about ¥0.0017 (¥1.22052/24/30).

Are the Resources Still Saved When My Account Is in Arrears?

After your account is in arrears, backups will not be frozen. The backup service cannot be disabled. You must delete the backups to stop fee generation.

After your account is in arrears, you cannot disable the backup policy, delete the backup policy, or add tags.

If your account is in arrears, you should top up it in time. If the account is not topped up in time, resources may be deleted. Ensure that the top-up amount is greater than the outstanding amount.

How Do I Renew the Service?

You can view your account information. You need to top up your account to pay arrears if any.

If the pay-per-use billing mode is used, you should top up your account as soon as possible once you are in arrears. If you do not top up in time, you will not be able to use CSBS anymore and your CSBS resources will be cleared.

For the renewal operation, see Manually Renewing a Resource.
