If the cluster to be backed up has a backup strategy, the fields in the Storage Configuration section are automatically populated.
Otherwise, you must manually specify the values.

After you specify the values, click Test .
Select a data backup method.
For physical backup, select a data backup method. For logical backup, only full backup is supported. Notice

precheck: Full data backup needed before incremental data backup.If the error message "Cluster compaction needed before full data backup" is returned during the
precheckof a full backup, perform a major compaction and click Retry .Click Backup Now .
