You can modify the settings and tags of an automatic snapshot policy based on your business requirements.

Modify the settings of an automatic snapshot policy

You can modify the settings of an automatic snapshot policy, including the policy name, times of the day at which to create automatic snapshots, days of the week on which to create automatic snapshots, retention period of automatic snapshots, and cross-region snapshot replication settings, based on your business requirements.

Note

You cannot modify the default policies named default_policy that are created after May 1, 2024.

  1. Log on to the ECS console.

  2. In the left-side navigation pane, choose Storage & Snapshots > Snapshots.

  3. In the top navigation bar, select the region and resource group to which the resource belongs. 地域

  4. On the Snapshots page, click the Automatic Snapshot Policies tab.

  5. On the Automatic Snapshot Policies tab, find the automatic snapshot policy whose settings you want to modify and click Modify Automatic Snapshot Policy in the Actions column.

  6. On the Modify Automatic Snapshot Policy page, modify the parameters.

    For information about the parameters on the Modify Automatic Snapshot Policy page, see Create an automatic snapshot policy.

    Note

    If you modify the Retention Period parameter of an automatic snapshot policy, the new retention period takes effect only for new automatic snapshots. For example, after you change the value of the Retention Period parameter from 20 days to 10 days, new automatic snapshots that are created based on the automatic snapshot policy are retained for 10 days. Existing snapshots that were created based on the automatic snapshot policy are still retained for 20 days.

  7. Click OK.

You can use tags to identify resources that have the same characteristics, such as automatic snapshot policies that belong to the same organization or have the same purpose, for easy search and management. This section describes how to modify the tags of an automatic snapshot policy.
