Stopping billing for Cloud Backup-Cloud Backup(Cloud Backup)-阿里云帮助中心

After you activate Cloud Backup, the service cannot be deactivated. If you no longer need to use Cloud Backup, follow the steps in this topic to stop backups for each data source and delete the backup vaults. Billing stops on the day you stop the backups. After you delete the backup vaults, billing for the service stops the next day.
