TDSQL-C for MySQL supports automatic backup and manual backup. Automatic backup is enabled by default. You can configure backup policies to automatically back up data as scheduled for data security.
After a cluster is created, TDSQL-C for MySQL generates backup files every 6-48 hours on a 24/7 uninterrupted basis, which has no impacts on the instance performance. You can also set the backup retention time in the console as needed.
This document describes how to configure automatic backup in the console.
Note
Automatic backup files cannot be deleted, but you can set the data and binlog backup retention period, so that they will be deleted upon expiration.
You can view the Backup Time field in the data backup list to determine the exact time point of the data image in a backup file.
