Data Management:Upgrade a backup schedule

Last Updated:Mar 07, 2025

Data Disaster Recovery provides multiple backup schedule types, including micro, small, medium, large, and xlarge. A backup schedule type with higher specifications offers higher performance at a lower unit price. You can upgrade your backup schedule based on the amount of backup data and requirements on backup and restoration performance.

Note

For more information about the free quota for data backup of each backup schedule type and how to select an appropriate backup schedule type after the upgrade, see Select the backup method and backup schedule type.
