- Do one of the following:
- Choose Create manual backup from the Actions menu on the same line as your DB system.
- Click the name of the DB system to open the DB system details page. Under Resources, select Backups, and click Create manual backup.
- In the Create manual backup panel, provide the following information:
- Display name: Specify the name of the backup. If you do not define a name, HeatWave Service generates one for you in the format, NameOfDBSystem-Backup-Date, Time.
- Description: Specify a description of the backup. If you do not define a description,HeatWave Service generates one for you in the format, NameOfDBSystem-Backup-Date, Time.
- Backup type: Specify the backup type, full or incremental.
- Retention period: Specify the number of days the backup is retained. You can either select the number of days of retention or the end date of the retention.
- Click Create manual backup to create the backup.
HeatWave Service immediately
starts to create the manual backup. The DB system state changes to Updating while
creating the manual backup, and returns to the original state once the backup is
created. There is no other impact on the DB system.
Using the CLI
Use the command-line interface to create a manual backup.
This task requires the following:
- A DB system OCID.
- A policy that permits you to create backups in the compartment or tenancy.
- A properly configured CLI installation and the requisite SSH keys. See Command Line Interface.
