Configure a backup schedule

1. Log on to the DMS console V5.0.

2. In the top navigation bar, choose Security and Specifications (DBS) > Disaster Recovery for Data (DBS) > Backup Plan.

   Note

   If you use the DMS console in simple mode, move the pointer over the icon in the upper-left corner of the DMS console and choose All Features > Security and Specifications (DBS) > Disaster Recovery for Data (DBS) > Backup Plan.

3. On the Backup Schedules page, find the backup schedule that you want to configure and click Configure Backup Schedule in the Actions column.

   

4. In the Configure Backup Source and Destination step, configure the backup source and destination, and click Next in the lower-right corner of the page.

   

   Section	Parameter	Description
   N/A	Schedule Name	The name of the backup schedule. Data Disaster Recovery automatically generates a backup schedule name. We recommend that you enter a descriptive name that is easy to identify. Backup schedule names do not need to be unique.
   Backup Source Information	Backup Mode	The method that is used to back up data. By default, the backup method that you selected when you purchased the backup schedule is used. In this example, Logical Backup is used.
   	Database Location	The location of the source database. Valid values: User-Created Database with Public IP Address <IP Address:Port Number> ECS-Hosted Database Express Connect DB/VPN Gateway/Intelligent Gateway No public network IP: Port's self-built database (accessed through the database gateway)
   	Database Type	The type of the source database. Default value: Oracle.
   	Address	The endpoint that is used to connect to the source database instance. Note If network security settings, such as firewall settings, are specified on the server where the instance is deployed, click Set Whitelist to obtain the CIDR blocks of Data Disaster Recovery, and then add the CIDR blocks to the whitelist of the server. This allows Data Disaster Recovery to access the server. This parameter is displayed only if you set the Database Location parameter to No public network IP: Port's self-built database (accessed through the database gateway), Express Connect DB/VPN Gateway/Intelligent Gateway, or User-Created Database with Public IP Address <IP Address:Port Number>.
   	Region	The region in which the source database instance resides. The region in which the source database resides. This parameter is displayed only if you set the Database Location parameter to ECS-Hosted Database or No public network IP: Port's self-built database (accessed through the database gateway).
   	Port Number	The port number that is used to connect to the source database. Default value: 1521.
   	ECS Instance ID	The ID of the Elastic Compute Service (ECS) instance on which the source database is hosted. This parameter is displayed only if you set the Database Location parameter to ECS-Hosted Database.
   	Peer VPC	The virtual private cloud (VPC) in which the source database resides. This parameter is displayed only if you set Database Location to Express Connect DB/VPN Gateway/Intelligent Gateway.
   	Gateway instance ID	The ID of the database gateway. This parameter is displayed only if you set the Database Location parameter to No public network IP: Port's self-built database (accessed through the database gateway).
   	SID	The system identifier (SID) of the source database.
   	Oracle Home	Oracle Home must be a standard absolute path on Windows or Linux.
   	Database Account	The username of the account that is used to connect to the source database.
   	Password	The password of the account that is used to connect to the database that you want to back up. After you enter the username and password of the database account, click Test Connection next to the password to check whether the information about the database that you want to back up is valid. If the specified parameters are valid, the Test Passed message is displayed. If the Test Failed message is displayed, click Check next to Test Failed. Modify the information about the database that you want to back up based on the check results.
   	Compliance warranty regarding cross-border data transfers	Read and agree to the compliance commitment by selecting the check box.
   Backup Destination Information	Backup Storage Type	The type of storage that is used to store the backup data. Valid values: DBS Storage (recommended): Backup data is stored in Data Disaster Recovery without the need to create an OSS bucket. You are charged based on the volume of your data that is stored in Data Disaster Recovery. For more information about the billing method, see Storage fees. OSS For User: You must create a bucket in the OSS console in advance. For more information, see Create buckets. Note In this example, DBS Storage (recommended) is selected. If you select OSS For User, you must configure the OSS Bucket Name parameter. Only the Standard storage class is supported. If the volume of data to be backed up is large, we recommend that you purchase subscription storage plans to offset fees. Storage plans are more cost-efficient than the pay-as-you-go billing method.
   	Storage Encryption	The method that is used to encrypt the stored data. Valid values: Encrypted: recommended. Data Disaster Recovery uses AES-256 to encrypt the stored data. The server-side encryption feature is used in OSS. When you upload an object to a bucket for which server-side encryption is enabled, OSS encrypts and stores the object. When you download the encrypted object from OSS, OSS decrypts the object and returns the decrypted object to you. For more information, see Server-side encryption. Non-encrypted: The stored data is not encrypted.

5. In the Edit Backup Objects step, find the database or table that you want to back up in the Available section. Click the rightwards arrow to add the selected database or table to the Selected section. Then, click Next.

   Note

   • Data Disaster Recovery allows you to back up a single table, a single database, or multiple databases. You can click Select All in the lower-left corner of the Available section to select all databases. The supported backup objects vary based on the database types. For more information, see Supported database types and features.

   • By default, a backup schedule cannot be used to back up a database that is created after the backup schedule is created. To back up the database, you can add the database to the backup schedule on the Configure Task page of the backup schedule. For more information, see Modify backup objects.

6. In the Configure Backup Time step, set the parameters that are described in the following table and click Next.

   Parameter	Description
   Full-scale Backup Frequency	The frequency of the backup schedule. Valid values: Periodic Backup and Single Backup. Note If you select Periodic Backup, you must configure the Full Data Backup Recurrence and Start At parameters.
   Full Data Backup Recurrence	The days of the week on which Data Disaster Recovery runs the backup schedule. You can select one or more days of a week. Select at least one day of the week.
   Start At	The start time of the backup. We recommend that you set a point in time within off-peak hours. Example: 01:00. Note If a previous full data backup is not finished at the start time of the next backup, Data Disaster Recovery skips the next backup.
   Incremental Backup	Data Disaster Recovery does not support incremental backup for Oracle databases.
   Maximum Concurrent Threads for Full Data Backup	The maximum number of concurrent threads available for a full backup. You can set this parameter to adjust the backup speed. For example, you can reduce the number of backup threads to minimize impacts on the database.
   Backup network speed limit	The limit on the network bandwidth. Unit: MB/s. You can set the limit based on your business requirements. The default value 0 indicates that the network bandwidth is unlimited.

7. In the Edit Lifecycle step, configure the lifecycle for a full backup set in the Configure Full Data Backup Lifecycle section.

   Note

   For more information about the lifecycle of backup data, see the How do I manage the lifecycle rules of backup sets?

8. After the preceding configurations are complete, click Precheck in the lower-right corner of the page.

9. If the Precheck Passed message appears, click Start Task.

   

   Note

   When the state of the backup schedule changes to Running, the backup schedule takes effect. You can view the backup task on the Backup Schedules page. For more information, see View a backup schedule.
