Creating an SFS Turbo Backup Vault

Procedure

1. Log in to the CBR console.
   1. Log in to the management console.
   2. Click in the upper left corner and select a region.
   3. Click and choose Storage > Cloud Backup and Recovery > SFS Turbo Backups.

2. In the upper right corner of the page, click Create SFS Turbo Backup Vault.
3. Select a protection type.
   • Backup: An SFS Turbo backup vault stores SFS Turbo backups.

4. Determine whether to enable backup locking.

   If backup locking is enabled, backups in the vault will not be deleted maliciously or by mistake. This improves data reliability.

   

   

   Backup locking cannot be disabled after it is enabled.

5. (Optional) In the file system list, select the file systems to be backed up. After file systems are selected, they are added to the list of selected file systems. See Figure 1.
   Figure 1 Selecting file systems

   

   

   • The selected file systems must have not been associated with any vault and must be in the Available state.
   • You can also associate file systems with the vault you are creating later if you skip this step.

6. Specify a vault capacity ranging from 10 GB to 10,485,760 GB. Properly plan the vault capacity, which must be at least the same as the size of the file systems you want to back up.
7. Configure auto backup.
   • If you select Configure, you must then select an existing backup policy or create a new policy. After the vault is created, CBR will apply the policy to this vault, and all file systems associated with this vault will be automatically backed up based on this policy.
   • If you select Skip, file systems associated with this vault will not be automatically backed up until you apply a backup policy to the vault.

8. (Optional) Add tags to the vault.

   Tags are key-value pairs, which are used to identify, classify, and search for vaults. You can add a maximum of 20 tags for a vault, and vault tags are only used for vault search and management. See Figure 2.

   Figure 2 Adding a tag

   

   Table 1 describes the parameters of a tag.

   Table 1 Tag parameter description

   Parameter	Description	Example Value
   Key	Each tag has a unique key. You can customize a key or select the key of an existing tag created in TMS. A tag key: Can contain 1 to 36 Unicode characters. Can contain only letters, digits, hyphens (-), and underscores (_).	Key_0001
   Value	A tag value can be repetitive or left blank. A tag value: Can contain 0 to 43 Unicode characters. Can contain only letters, digits, hyphens (-), and underscores (_).	Value_0001

9. Specify a name for the vault.

   The name must contain 1 to 64 characters including digits, letters, underscores (_), or hyphens (-), for example, vault-612c.

   

   You can also use the default name vault_xxxx.

10. Complete the creation as prompted.
11. Go back to the SFS Turbo Backups page. You can see the created vault in the vault list.

    You can associate file systems to the new vault or perform backup for the file systems. For details, see Vault Management.
