View backup storage

Updated at:

The backup storage for ApsaraDB for MongoDB indicates the total size of all backup files (including full backups and log backups) for a MongoDB instance and the free backup quota. If the total size of the backup files exceeds the free backup quota, the excess backup storage is charged on a pay-as-you-go basis.

Background

  • Backup storage is the total size of Full Backups and Log Backups.

  • You are charged for backup storage that exceeds your free quota on a pay-as-you-go basis. For more information about pricing, see ApsaraDB for MongoDB Pricing Details.

    The free quota is as follows:

    • For an instance that uses cloud disks: 200% of the instance's storage space.

    • For an instance that uses local disks: 50% of the instance's storage space.

Procedure

  1. Go to the Replica set instances or Sharded cluster instances page. At the top of the page, select the resource group and region, then click the ID of the target instance.

  2. In the left-side navigation pane of the instance details page, click Backup and Restoration.

  3. Above the backup list, view the Backup Storage details (used storage and free quota).

    Note

    For a standalone instance or a replica set instance, you can also view the Backup Storage details (storage used by full and log backups, and the free quota) in the Specification Information section of the Basic Information page.
