Enabling Cross-region Copy for a User-defined Backup Policy

Copy backups between regions for disaster recovery, business continuity, migration, or expansion. Update a user-defined (custom) backup policy in Block Volume to enable cross-region copy.

    1. On the Backup Policies list page, find the backup policy that you want to work with. If you need help finding the list page or the backup policies, see Listing Backup Policies.
    2. From the Actions menu (three dots), select Edit.
    3. On the Edit backup policy panel, for Cross region copy target, select the region you want the volume backup to be copied to.
    4. Select the checkbox to acknowledge the warning.
    5. Select Save changes.

  • Use the oci bv volume-backup-policy create command and specify the --compartment id, --destinationregion parameters to set a paired region for copying scheduled backups to.

    oci bv volume-backup-policy create --compartment-id <compartment_id>
--destinationregion<region_name>

    For a complete list of parameters and values for CLI commands, see the CLI Command Reference.

  • Run the CreateVolumeBackup operation and specify the compartmentId and destinationRegion attributes for the CreateVolumeBackupPolicyDetails resource to enable cross-region copy for a user-defined backup policy.
