This document describes how to view the MySQL instance backup space and free tier in the console.
Scenario
For two-node and three-node instances of local disk edition, the backup space occupied by TencentDB for MySQL instance backup files is allocated by region. It is equivalent to the total storage capacity used by all database backups in a region, including automatic data backups, manual data backups, and log backups. Increasing the backup retention period or manual backup frequency will use more database backup space.
For single-node instances of cloud disk edition, the backup space occupied by TencentDB for MySQL instance backup files is allocated by instance. The free backup space of one instance is equivalent to 200% of its storage space.
Viewing the backup space and free tier of an instance of local disk edition
2. Select a region at the top to view its backup information on the Overview tab, including total backup, backup trend, and real-time backup statistics.
Total Backup: This section displays the size and quantity of all, data, and log backups as well as the free tier occupied by all the backups.
Note
Green: The total backup capacity used does not exceed the free tier.
Orange: The total backup space used has exceeded the free tier and incurred fees. For more information, see Backup Space Billing.
Backup trend: This section displays the trends of each backup count.
Real-Time Backup Statistics: this section displays the instance IDs/names (you can click an ID/name to enter the instance details page), backup space (which can be sorted by size), and data/log backups in the selected region. You can search for an instance by ID/name in the search box in the top-right corner.
3. Select the Backup List tab at the top. The backup list is divided into data backup list and log backup list. Clicking on an instance name in the list will take you to the instance details page. The backup list supports filtering by time range and fuzzy search by instance name and instance ID.
