Section | Parameter | Description |
N/A | Schedule Name | The name of the backup schedule. DBS automatically generates a backup schedule name. We recommend that you enter a descriptive name that is easy to identify. Backup schedule names do not need to be unique. |
Backup Source Information | Backup Mode | The method that is used to back up data. By default, the backup method that you selected when you purchased the backup schedule is used. In this example, Logical Backup is displayed. |
Database Location | The location of the database that you want to back up. Valid values: RDS Instance User-Created Database with Public IP Address <IP Address:Port Number> ECS-Hosted Database Express Connect DB/VPN Gateway/Intelligent Gateway PolarDB No public network IP: Port's self-built database (accessed through the database gateway)
Note In this example, RDS Instance is selected. If you select other location types, you must configure more parameters. For more information, see the Other parameters section of this topic. |
Instance Region | The region in which the ApsaraDB RDS instance that you want to back up resides. If you set the Database Location parameter to PolarDB or ECS-Hosted Database, select the region in which the instance that you want to back up resides. |
RDS Instance ID | The ID of the ApsaraDB RDS instance that you want to back up. |
Database Account | The username of the account that is used to connect to the database that you want to back up. The account must have permissions to back up the database. For more information, see Account permissions. Note For ApsaraDB RDS instances, read-only permissions are required for backup, and read and write permissions are required for backup and restoration. |
Password | The password of the account that is used to connect to the database that you want to back up. After you enter the username and password of the database account, click Test Connection next to the password to check whether the information about the database that you want to back up is valid. If the specified parameters are valid, the Test Passed message is displayed. If the Test Failed message is displayed, click Check next to Test Failed. Modify the information about the database that you want to back up based on the check results. |
SSL Encryption: | The connection method that is used to transmit the backup data. Valid values: Non-encrypted SSL-encrypted: SSL encrypts network connections at the transport layer to improve the security and integrity of data in transit. However, SSL increases the network connection response time. If you want to select SSL-encrypted, you must enable SSL encryption for the ApsaraDB RDS instance before you configure the backup schedule. For more information, see the Step 1: Enable the SSL encryption feature for an RDS instance section of the "Configure the SSL encryption feature" topic.
Note This parameter is displayed only when you configure a backup schedule for a MySQL database. |
Compliance warranty regarding cross-border data transfers: | Read and agree to the compliance commitment by selecting the check box. |
Backup Destination Information | Backup Storage Type | The type of storage that is used to store the backup data. Valid values: DBS Storage (recommended): Backup data is stored in DBS without the need to create an Object Storage Service (OSS) bucket. You are charged based on the volume of your data that is stored in DBS. For more information about the billing method, see Storage fees. OSS For User: You must create a bucket in the OSS console in advance. For more information, see Create buckets.
Note In this example, DBS Storage (recommended) is selected. If you select OSS For User, you must configure the OSS Bucket Name parameter. Only the Standard storage class is supported. If the volume of data to be backed up is large, we recommend that you purchase subscription storage plans to offset fees. For more information, see Use storage plans. Storage plans are more cost-efficient than the pay-as-you-go billing method.
|
Storage Encryption | The method that is used to encrypt the stored data. Valid values: Encrypted: recommended. DBS uses AES-256 to encrypt data. The server-side encryption feature is used in OSS. When you upload an object to OSS, OSS encrypts and stores the object. When you download the encrypted object from OSS, OSS decrypts the object and returns the decrypted object to you. For more information, see Server-side encryption. Non-encrypted: The backup data is not encrypted.
|
OSS Bucket Name | The name of the Object Storage Service (OSS) bucket that you want to use to store data. This parameter is displayed only if you set the Backup Storage Type parameter to OSS For User. |
