Database Backup:Release or unsubscribe from a backup schedule

Feature description

• You need to pay a subscription fee based on the subscription duration when you purchase a subscription backup schedule. If you no longer need to use a subscription backup schedule, you can unsubscribe from the backup schedule.
• Pay-as-you-go backup schedules are billed based on actual resource usage. No refunds are involved. If you no longer need to use a pay-as-you-go backup schedule, you can release the backup schedule after you back up or migrate data. Before you release the backup schedule, make sure that the release does not affect your business. After the backup schedule is released, you are no longer charged for the backup schedule.

Usage notes

• You can release a backup schedule only if the billing method of the backup schedule is pay-as-you-go.
• You can unsubscribe from a backup schedule only if the billing method of the backup schedule is subscription.
