    Instance nameFile Storage instance to perform the backup
    Creation type- Full: Full backup of the entire instance
    - Incremental: Backup of changes up to the time of the backup relative to the Full backup
    Description (Optional)Description of the backup file
info
  • To perform an incremental backup, an initial full backup is required.
    Incremental backups are performed based on the latest full backup or incremental backup.
  • If File Storage instance was created through restoration, incremental backup can be performed after the initial full backup.
info

Backup capacity may exceed the size of the data stored by the customer due to the backup method used by KakaoCloud (image backup).
