Backing Up Graph Data

To ensure data security, back up the graph data so that you can restore it when faults occur.

Procedure

You can perform the backup operation on the Graph Management page or the Backup Management page.
  1. Graph management operations
    1. Log in to the GES management console. In the navigation pane on the left, choose Graph Management.
    2. Locate the target graph in the graph list and select Back Up in the Operation column.
    3. In the dialog box displayed, click OK.

    4. In the navigation pane on the left, choose Backup Management. You can view the backup task in the backup list.

      If Status is Backing up, wait several minutes. When Status is switched to Succeeded, the backup is successful.
