Cloud Config:Automatic snapshot policy for ECS instance disks or the entire machine backup feature of Cloud Backup

Last Updated:Jun 22, 2026

Checks whether ECS instance disks have an automatic snapshot policy or use the entire machine backup feature of Cloud Backup. This rule relies on detection results from the Backup Disaster Recovery Center (BDRC) and is not applicable if BDRC is not activated or results are unavailable.

Risk level

Default risk level: Low.

You can adjust the risk level based on your requirements.

Detection logic

  • An ECS instance is compliant if an automatic snapshot policy is enabled for its disks or if the entire machine backup feature of Cloud Backup is used. This rule depends on detection results from the Backup Disaster Recovery Center (BDRC). If BDRC is not activated or if detection results are unavailable, the rule is not applicable.
