FAQs
Can I download or restore backup files that exceed the retention period?
Expired backup files (including data and binlog backup files) will be automatically deleted and cannot be downloaded or restored.
You can also perform backup manually in the console.
Note:
Manual logical backups can be deleted manually, while snapshot backups cannot.
Can I delete backups manually?
Automatic backups cannot be deleted manually. They will be automatically deleted after the retention period ends, which is 7 days and can be customized as needed. For more information, see Setting Backup Retention Period. Manual logical backups can be manually deleted from the backup list in the TDSQL-C for MySQL console.
How can I reduce the backup capacity cost?
Delete manual logical backups that are no longer used. For detailed directions, see Deleting Backup. Reduce the automatic backup retention period as needed to implement the regular deletion of automatic backups. For more information, see Setting Backup Retention Period.
