TDSQL-C for MySQL supports automatic backup and manual backup. This document describes how to create a manual backup in the console.

Note：

• With manual backup, you can use snapshot backup to manually back up the entire cluster or use logical backup to back up the entire cluster or specified databases/tables.
• You can delete manual backups from the backup list in the console to release backup space.

Directions

1. Log in to the TDSQL-C for MySQL console.
2. Select the region at the top, find the target cluster in the cluster list, and click the cluster ID or Manage in the Operation column to enter the cluster management page.
3. On the cluster management page, select the Backup Management tab and click Manual Backup.
   
4. In the pop-up window, select the backup type and object, set the backup file alias, and click OK.
   

• Backup Type: Snapshot backup and logical backup are supported.
• Object: Snapshot backup applies to the entire instance, while logical backup applies to the entire instance or specified databases/tables.
• Alias: You can set a file alias when creating a manual backup, which can contain up to 60 digits, letters, or symbols (-_./()[]+=:;@).

  Note：

  We recommend you perform a manual logical backup task during off-peak hours, as it will lock the database and affect database use.

5. After creating a manual backup task, you can view the task progress in the Task List on the left sidebar. You can also view the execution status by clicking Backup Details in the *Operation column.
