Pay-as-you-go
Example 1
Suppose you have an ECS instance with 10 GB of files and 163 GB of database files. No incremental data is generated. You want to use Cloud Backup to back up the instance once a month and retain each backup for 30 days.
Assuming a 30-day month, the fee for the first month is CNY 49.9968 + CNY 2.3616 = CNY 52.3584. From the second month onward, the fee is CNY 49.9968 + CNY 2.3616 + CNY 60 + CNY 17.928 = CNY 130.2864. The following table provides a detailed breakdown.
Billable item | Description | Daily usage | Unit price | Monthly fee |
File backup software usage fee | Billed based on the number of nodes where the backup client is installed. | 1 unit | CNY 0.06944/instance/hour | CNY 0.06944/instance/hour × 1 instance × 24 hours × 30 days = CNY 49.9968 |
Backup vault storage capacity | You are charged for the storage capacity used after deduplication and compression, not for the raw data size. For example, if the raw data is 10 GB, the size after deduplication and compression is about 8 GB. To estimate the required backup storage capacity, use the Backup Storage Capacity Calculator. | 8 GB | CNY 0.00041/GB/hour | CNY 0.00041/GB/hour × 8 GB × 24 hours × 30 days = CNY 2.3616 |
Database backup vault rental fee | Free for the first 30 days. After the free trial, the monthly fee is about CNY 60 per vault. | 1 | CNY 0.08333 per unit per hour | CNY 60 per vault. |
Database backup storage capacity fee | Free for the first 30 days. Tiered pricing applies. For example, if the raw data is 163 GB, the size after deduplication and compression is about 130 GB. A free quota of 100 GB is provided each month, so you are charged for 30 GB. To estimate the required backup storage capacity, use the Backup Storage Capacity Calculator. | 30 GB | CNY 0.00083/GB/hour (for the first 500 GB) | CNY 0.00083/GB/hour × 30 GB × 24 hours × 30 days = CNY 17.928 |
