Database Backup (DBS) provides various backup schedule types, including micro, small, medium, large, and xlarge. A backup schedule type with higher specifications offers higher performance at a lower unit price. You can upgrade your backup schedule based on the amount of backup data and restoration performance requirements.
For information about the free quota for data backup of each backup schedule type and how to select an appropriate backup schedule type, see Select a backup schedule type.
Usage notes
After you upgrade a backup schedule, DBS immediately upgrades the specifications of your backup schedule and improves the backup and restoration performance.
After the upgrade, the free quota for data backup of the new backup schedule type takes effect on the next day.
