Database Backup:Upgrade a backup schedule

Last Updated:Feb 06, 2024

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.
