Change the backup destination

After you enable data backup, you can change the backup destination based on your business needs.

Procedure

1. Log on to the sys tenant or a user tenant as the administrator.

2. Check whether ongoing backup jobs exist. For more information, see View the data backup progress.

   If the query result is not empty, ongoing data backup jobs exist. In this case, you must stop the ongoing backup jobs. For more information, see Stop a backup job.

3. Reconfigure the backup destination.

   Make sure that the directory where the new backup destination belongs is empty. For information about how to configure a backup destination, see Preparations.

4. Query the CDB_OB_BACKUP_PARAMETER view in the sys tenant or the DBA_OB_BACKUP_PARAMETER view in a user tenant to verify whether the new backup destination is successfully configured. For more information, see View data backup parameter settings.

What to do next

After the backup destination is changed, you must re-initiate a full data backup. For more information, see Initiate a full data backup job.
