Manual Backup
The manual backup feature allows you to create data snapshots on demand outside of the automatic backup policy (for example, before a major change is performed), providing you with more flexible disaster recovery protection. For details, see Manual Backup.
Note:
Automatic backup: It is automatically generated by the system based on the backup policy, cannot be manually deleted, and its lifecycle is controlled by the configured retention period.
Manual backup: It is created by users and can be manually deleted. You can delete a backup set to release storage quota when it is no longer needed or when the number of backup sets reaches the upper limit.
On the Data Backup List page, you can perform the following operations on manual backup sets:
Modify Remarks for Manual Backup: To facilitate identification and management, you can modify the remarks for a manual backup set.
Procedure: On the Data Backup List page, click the
icon after File Name to modify the remarks for the manual backup.
Delete Manual Backup Sets: You can delete a single manual backup set or delete multiple sets in batches.
Note:
Once a backup set is deleted, you can no longer use it to perform backup recovery. Proceed with caution.
Delete a single manual backup set: On the Data Backup List page, locate the row of the backup set to be deleted, and click Delete in the Operation column.
Delete Manual Backup Sets in Batches:
1.1.1 On the Data Backup List page, select the manual backup sets to be deleted, and click Delete in the upper-left corner of the page.
1.1.2 In the pop-up box, confirm the backup set to be deleted and click OK.
Converting to Scheduled Backup
The system supports converting automatic/manual backup sets into scheduled backup sets for long-term retention.
Prerequisites
On the Backup and Restoration > Backup Settings tab, in the Scheduled Backup Configuration area, Scheduled Backup Retention is enabled.
The backup set to be converted to a scheduled backup set has a Backup Mode of Manual or Automatic.
Steps
1. On the Data Backup List tab, click Convert into Scheduled in the Operation column.
2. In the pop-up dialog box, click OK.
After the conversion is complete, the system retains the backup set according to the Scheduled Backup Configuration policy on the Backup and Restoration > Backup Settings tab.
As the opposite operation of converting to scheduled, if you do not want a scheduled backup to be retained long-term, you can click Convert into Automatic in the Operation column. The backup and restoration system will then delete it according to the lifecycle of automatic backups.
