The OceanBase Cloud console provides high-availability and high-performance backup features, supporting data backup for OceanBase clusters.
Backup Methods
OceanBase supports the following two backup methods:
Backup Strategy:
Automatically back up data periodically based on a preset strategy. You can set a weekly full backup at a fixed time. Log backup and periodic cleanup of expired data are also supported. After creating a backup strategy, backups are automatically executed regularly. You can also pause or restart the backup schedule.
Immediate Backup:
Manually perform a one-time backup. Immediate manual backup cannot be performed if a full backup is in progress or if the backup strategy is disabled.
Procedure
Log in to the OceanBase Cloud console.
In the left-side navigation pane, click Instances.
In the instance list, find the target instance, click its name, and go to the Instance Workspace page.
In the left-side navigation pane, click Backup.
