Database Backup:Configure the account and password for a data source

Usage notes

The database account that you configure in DBS must have the read and write permissions required to perform backup and restoration operations. The required permissions vary based on the database type. For example, for a MongoDB database, the Read permission is required to back up the database and the ReadWrite permission is required to restore the database.

You must grant the required permissions to the database account to ensure successful backup and restoration operations. For more information, see Account permissions.

Procedure

1. Log on to the Database Backup (DBS) console.

2. In the left-side navigation pane, click Data Source. On the Data Source page, select a region in the upper-left corner.

3. Find the data source that you want to manage and click its ID.

   

   Note

   If no account and password have been configured for a data source, you can directly click Set Username and Password in the Actions column of the data source to configure the account and password.

4. In the Data source details section, click Set Username and Password next to the Account parameter.

   

5. In the Modify data source account password information dialog box, configure the Database Account and Password parameters and click Test Connection.

   

   Note

   • If the database account and password that you entered are valid, a message that indicates the connection is successful appears.

   • If the database account and password that you entered are invalid, a message that indicates the connection fails appears. In this case, you can click Check to view the cause of failure.

6. Click Update.
