  1. Activate Cloud Backup

    Activating Cloud Backup is free. You are charged for backup vault storage in Cloud Backup. For more information, see Billing methods and billable items.

  2. Back up OSS objects

    Create a backup plan to configure the backup vault, data source, backup cycle, and retention period. Cloud Backup then continuously backs up objects from the specified OSS bucket.

    Important
    • A 30-day free backup plan is available. The source path and backup cycle cannot be edited for free plans.

    • In regions that support backup policies, you must associate a backup plan with a policy. Cloud Backup then backs up OSS objects on the policy schedule.

    • To check which regions support backup policies, click Policy Center in the left-side navigation pane of the Cloud Backup console. For more information about how to create a backup policy, see Create a backup policy.

    • The first backup job is a full backup. Subsequent jobs are incremental.

  3. Restore an OSS bucket

    Same-region restoration is free. If a file exception occurs in an OSS bucket, you can restore all objects or objects that meet specified conditions from historical backups. You can restore objects to the source OSS bucket for free or restore objects to a new OSS bucket for free. Cross-region restoration incurs traffic and remote mirror vault storage costs.
