You can use the scheduled backup feature of OSS to back up the objects in a bucket to Hybrid Backup Recovery (HBR) on a regular basis. If an object is unexpectedly lost, you can recover the object by using HBR.
Prerequisites
- HBR is activated. You can go to the HBR details page to activate HBR.
- HBR is authorized to read data from OSS. Log on to the HBR console. In the left-side navigation pane, click OSS Backup. Follow the prompts to authorize HBR.
Billing
- Fees for access requests to OSS
- Before each backup task starts, HBR uses the ListObject operation to obtain the list of objects. Each ListObject request can list up to 1,000 objects.
- After the object list is obtained, HBR uses the HeadObject operation to obtain the object metadata. Each HeadObject request can obtain the metadata of one object.
- HBR uses the GetObject operation to back up objects. Each GetObject request can back up one object.
- HBR uses the ListObject operation to query the backup progress and verify the objects that are backed up. Each ListObject request can verify up to 1,000 objects.
For more information about the billing methods for OSS API requests, see API operation calling fees.
- If an Infrequent Access (IA) object is backed up, data retrieval fees are incurred. For more information about the billing methods, see Data processing fees.
- Fees are incurred for the storage of objects that are backed up in HBR vaults. For
information about the billing methods, see Billing methods and items.
If you use the default configurations for scheduled backup, the storage of backup in HBR vaults is free for the first two months.
