   Tenant	Click the tenant name in the Tenant column. The Overview page of the tenant appears.
   Data Backup Method	Valid values: Full and Incremental.
   Backup Set ID	The ID of the full backup set. The ID is used to identify the relationship between the full data backups and incremental data backups in physical backup mode. A full backup matches an incremental backup with the same full backup set ID.

4. View log backup tasks.

   On the Log Backup tab, you can view information about log backup tasks in the following columns: Cluster , Tenant , Backup Method , Host IP Address , Last Backed up At , Latency , Storage Directory , Started At , and Status .

   Tenant	The tenant whose logs are to be backed up.
   Backup Method	The backup mode of the cluster. Valid values: Logical Backup and Physical Backup .
   Host IP Address	The IP address of the host.

   Storage Directory	The directory where backup files are stored.
   Started At	The backup start time.
   Status	Valid values: Starting , In Progress , Stopping , Stopped , Failed , and Interrupted . You can filter backup tasks by status.

If you retain the current backup strategy or manually initiate data backup, log backup will be enabled by default.
