Application backup

Viewing backup jobs

A backup plan supports immediate backup or scheduled backup. Backup data is used for restoring jobs. This topic describes backup job management and related information.

Background

Naming rules for backup jobs

Backup jobs are sorted by creation time, and their names are related to the backup plan. The detailed naming rules for backup jobs are as follows:

If a backup plan uses scheduled backup, its job names follow the <Backup plan name>-<timestamp> format, for example, plan1-1720515600.

If a backup plan uses immediate backup, its job name is the same as the backup plan name.

Backup job status

The status of backup jobs and their action restrictions are as follows:

Backup status	Description	Notes	Supported actions
Backup status	Description	Notes				View details	Restore	Delete
Starting	The backup job is initializing and has not started backing up data yet.	Intermediate status	✔️	❌	❌
Backing up	The job has started execution and is backing up data.	Intermediate status	✔️	❌	❌
Success	All data has been backed up and no errors have occurred.	Stable status	✔️	✔️	✔️
Fail	Backup job validation failed. The job has not started execution yet.	Stable status	✔️	❌	✔️
Fail		A failure occurred during backup job execution. The backup job cannot proceed, and other resources will not be backed up.	Stable status	✔️	❌	✔️
Partially failed	Certain resources failed to be backed up. Other resources will be backed up normally.	Stable status	✔️	✔️	✔️
Deleting	The backup job is being deleted.	Intermediate status	❌	❌	❌

Procedure

VKE provides a dedicated page for backup job management and also supports viewing backup jobs for a specified backup plan.

Method 1: View all backup jobs

All backup jobs triggered by all backup plans are displayed in order of creation time on the backup job page.

In the left navigation bar, click Backup center > Application backup to enter the application backup page.

On the Backup job tab, view all backup jobs triggered by all backup plans and their job details, such as backup status, source cluster, number of resources, creation time, and backup validity date.

Click the name of the target backup job to view its details and those of the resources it backs up.

Method 2: View backup jobs from the backup plan page

You can go to the backup plan details page to view the backup jobs associated with the specified backup plan.

In the left navigation bar, click Backup center > Application backup to enter the application backup page.

On the Backup plan tab, click the name of the target backup plan to go to the backup plan details page. On the Backup plan page, you can view the backup jobs associated with the current backup plan and their details, such as backup status, source cluster, number of resources, creation time, and backup validity date.

Click the name of the target backup job to view its details and those of the resources it backs up.

Subsequent operations

If the status of a backup job is Partially failed, you can go to the Log of backup job tab on the details page and search for level=error to view the failed content and reason for failure. For common cases of partial failure and solutions to partially failed jobs, see Troubleshooting partially failed jobs.

If you no longer need a backup job and its backup data, you can delete the backup job. To do so, click Backup center > Application backup, go to the Backup job tab, find the job in the backup job list, and click Delete in the Actions column.

danger

Deleting a backup job will permanently delete the backup data in the TOS warehouse. Exercise caution when you perform this operation.
