  1. Activate Cloud Backup

    You are not charged for activating Cloud Backup. If you use the Tablestore backup feature, you are charged for the storage usage of the backup vault.

    1. You are not charged for Cloud Backup within 30 days after you use the Tablestore backup feature for the first time.

    2. When you use the Tablestore backup feature, backup vaults are created. The fees for the backup vaults are included into your Cloud Backup bills. For more information, see Billing methods and billable items.

    3. If you restore data to a Tablestore instance, you are charged for the data write throughput. The fees are included into your Tablestore bills. For more information, see Billing overview.

  2. Back up Tablestore tables

    When you create a backup plan, configure the full backup and incremental backup policies, backup vault, and retention period. Cloud Backup starts the backup plan and continuously backs up data from the specified Tablestore instance.

  3. Restore Tablestore tables

    1. When you restore data, Cloud Backup is free of charge. The restoration fees are included into your Tablestore bills.

    2. If a system failure or error occurs on a Tablestore instance, you can restore the table data in the backup vault to the source Tablestore instance or another specified Tablestore instance. You can restore only one table at a time.
