Creating a Manual Backup

Scenarios

TaurusDB allows you to create manual backups for available primary nodes. You can restore data from backups to ensure data reliability.

  • When you delete a DB instance, its automated backups are also deleted but its manual backups are retained.

  5. In the displayed dialog box, enter a backup name and description. Then, click OK. If you want to cancel the backup creation task, click Cancel.

    • The backup name must consist of 4 to 64 characters and start with a letter. It can contain only uppercase letters, lowercase letters, digits, hyphens (-), and underscores (_).

    • The description must consist of a maximum of 256 characters and cannot contain the carriage return character or the following special characters: !<"='>&
