After you create an anti-ransomware policy, you can disable or edit the anti-ransomware policy. If you no longer need the anti-ransomware policy, you can delete it. This topic describes how to disable, edit, and delete an anti-ransomware policy. This topic also describes how to manually install and uninstall the anti-ransomware agent.
Prerequisites
An anti-ransomware policy is created for your database. For more information, see Create an anti-ransomware policy
Background information
If the status of the anti-ransomware policy is Successful, the anti-ransomware policy takes effect. In this case, the data in your database is backed up based on the anti-ransomware policy. If the status of the anti-ransomware policy is Execution failed, we recommend you handle the exception at the earliest opportunity. For more information, see Troubleshoot the issues causing the abnormal status of an anti-ransomware policy for a database and backup tasks.
Enable or disable an anti-ransomware policy
Log on to the Security Center console. In the top navigation bar, select the region of the asset that you want to manage. You can select China or Outside China.

Disable an anti-ransomware policy
To disable an anti-ransomware policy, find the anti-ransomware policy and turn off the switch in the Policy Status column.
ImportantAfter you disable the anti-ransomware policy, the data backup task that runs based on the anti-ransomware policy stops. Proceed with caution.
Enable an anti-ransomware policy
The anti-ransomware agent can back up the data in your database based on an anti-ransomware policy only after the anti-ransomware policy is enabled. This protects your database against ransomware. To enable an anti-ransomware policy, turn on the switch in the Policy Status column.

Parameter
Description
Protection Policy
The anti-ransomware policy that you want to use. You can click Recommended Policy to use the recommended anti-ransomware policy provided by Security Center. If the recommended anti-ransomware policy cannot meet your business requirements, you can modify the policy.
Full Backup Policy
The interval at which full backup is performed, the days of a week on which the full backup is performed, and the point in time at which the full backup starts.
Full backup indicates that you back up all data that exists at a specific point in time. Full backup is time-consuming and requires a large amount of anti-ransomware capacity. We recommend that you set the Interval period parameter to 1 Week.
NoteThe full backup policy and incremental backup policy take effect at the same time and do not affect each other.
Incremental Backup Policy
The interval at which incremental backup is performed and the point in time at which the incremental backup starts.
Incremental backup indicates that you back up only the data that is newly generated or modified after the last full or incremental backup. Incremental backup requires less time and less anti-ransomware capacity. We recommend that you set the Interval period parameter to 1 Day.
Backup Data Retention Period
The retention period of the backup.
Maximum Backup Network Bandwidth
The maximum network bandwidth that is allowed during data backup. If you set this parameter to 0, the network bandwidth is unlimited.
Click Finished.
The anti-ransomware agent backs up the data in your database based on the new anti-ransomware policy.
Delete an anti-ransomware policy
If you no longer need the anti-ransomware policy, you can delete it.
Note that deleting an anti-ransomware policy will also remove the backup data, and once deleted, the backup data cannot be restored.
