Back up MySQL, Oracle, and SQL Server databases on ECS - Cloud Backup

Back up MySQL, Oracle, and SQL Server databases on ECS instances with Cloud Backup.

Note

The backup procedure is basically the same for MySQL, Oracle, and SQL Server on ECS. This topic uses MySQL as an example.
Cloud Backup uses database credentials for registration. Get the username and password from your MySQL or SQL Server administrator. Oracle databases do not require a password.

Activate Cloud Backup

Activation is free. You are charged for backup vault rental and storage. Each vault includes a 30-day free trial and 100 GB of free storage per month. Beyond the free quota, tiered pricing applies. For more information, see Billing methods and billable items.
Register a database

Register a database in the Cloud Backup console. A backup client is automatically installed on the ECS instance. No charges apply until you create a backup plan.
Precheck a database

Back up a database

Create a backup plan by specifying the vault, data source, backup cycle, retention period, and backup type (full or incremental). Cloud Backup runs the plan and continuously backs up the database.
