Data Management:Modify backup objects

Last Updated:Mar 28, 2026

Update the databases included in an existing backup schedule to reflect your current business needs.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, ensure that you have:

  • A backup schedule created and configured in Data Disaster Recovery (DBS)

Usage notes

When you back up an entire database, DBS also backs up additional objects associated with that database, such as backup indexes and stored procedures. The specific objects that are backed up depend on the database engine. For more information, see Supported database types and features or Configure a backup schedule and restore data.

Modify backup objects

  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.

    If you use the DMS console in simple mode, move the pointer over the 2023-01-28_15-57-17.png icon in the upper-left corner and choose All Features > Security and Specifications (DBS) > Disaster Recovery for Data (DBS) > Backup Plan.
  3. Find the backup schedule you want to update, then click Manage in the Actions column. The Configure Task page appears.

  4. In the Basic Information section, click Edit Backup Objects.

    OptionBehavior
    OKA full backup starts within approximately 1 minute, covering all objects in the schedule. To minimize impact on the source database, perform this step during off-peak hours.
    CloseThe updated configuration is saved. No immediate full backup is triggered. The new configuration takes effect the next time a scheduled full backup runs.
