Data Disaster Recovery offers five backup schedule types—micro, small, medium, large, and xlarge—in ascending order of specifications. Higher-tier types deliver better backup and restoration performance at a lower unit price. Upgrade your backup schedule when your backup data volume grows or when you need higher performance.
For guidance on selecting the right backup schedule type and details about the free quota included in each type, see Select the backup method and backup schedule type.
Effective time after upgrade
After you upgrade a backup schedule, two changes take effect at different times:
| Change | Effective time |
|---|---|
| Specifications and backup/restoration performance | Immediately after purchase |
| Free quota for the new backup schedule type | The next day |
