Create backup
Both automatic backup and manual backup are available for TiDB instances. Currently, there is no charge for backup.
- Automatic backup: You can set the time point to trigger automatic backup by modifying backup policy. For specific operations, please refer to Set backup policy. Backup files will be stored on JD Cloud’s cloud storage service. Automatic backups will be saved for 7 days by default and cannot be deleted.
- Manual backup: Users can initialize backup via the Console or OpenAPI. The system will not delete the backup initiated manually by users, and only the users can delete it by themselves. By default, 3 manual backups can be created per instance.
Operation Steps
- Click the instance name to enter the instance page, select Backup management page and then click Create backup.

- Enter Backup name according to the prompts on the console, then click OK to start backup creation.
