ApsaraDB for MongoDB:TransferClusterBackup

Last Updated:Jan 26, 2026

Switches the backup mode of an ApsaraDB for MongoDB sharded cluster instance to the cluster backup mode. After the instance is switched to the cluster backup mode, the instance supports high-frequency backup.

Operation description

  • The instance is an ApsaraDB for MongoDB sharded cluster instance that runs MongoDB 4.4 or later and uses enhanced SSDs (ESSDs) to store data.

  • You can call the TransferClusterBackup operation only for instances that are created before October 19, 2023 to switch the instances to the cluster backup mode. Cloud disk-based sharded cluster instances that are created on or after October 19, 2023 are set to the cluster backup mode by default.

Test

RAM authorization

The table below describes the authorization required to call this API. You can define it in a Resource Access Management (RAM) policy. The table's columns are detailed below:

  • Action: The actions can be used in the Action element of RAM permission policy statements to grant permissions to perform the operation.

  • API: The API that you can call to perform the action.

  • Access level: The predefined level of access granted for each API. Valid values: create, list, get, update, and delete.

  • Resource type: The type of the resource that supports authorization to perform the action. It indicates if the action supports resource-level permission. The specified resource must be compatible with the action. Otherwise, the policy will be ineffective.

    • For APIs with resource-level permissions, required resource types are marked with an asterisk (*). Specify the corresponding Alibaba Cloud Resource Name (ARN) in the Resource element of the policy.

    • For APIs without resource-level permissions, it is shown as All Resources. Use an asterisk (*) in the Resource element of the policy.

  • Condition key: The condition keys defined by the service. The key allows for granular control, applying to either actions alone or actions associated with specific resources. In addition to service-specific condition keys, Alibaba Cloud provides a set of common condition keys applicable across all RAM-supported services.

  • Dependent action: The dependent actions required to run the action. To complete the action, the RAM user or the RAM role must have the permissions to perform all dependent actions.
