Using duplication

You can create a replica of the File Storage at another location and synchronize it periodically. You can perform tasks on the File Storage Details page and the Replication page.

Reference
The kr-south region does not provide File Storage replication functionality.

Create Clone

You can create a replica volume in a different location. To create a replica volume, follow these steps.

  1. All Services > Storage > File Storage Click the menu. 1. Navigate to the Service Home page of File Storage.
  2. On the Service Home page, click the File Storage menu. 2. Go to the File Storage list page.
  3. File Storage List page, click the resource for which you want to create a replica. 3. Go to the File Storage Details page.
  4. Click the Create Clone button. 4. Create Clone The popup window opens.
  5. Enter the Replication location, Replication volume name, Password, and Replication schedule, then click the Create button. 6. Creates a replica with the same disk type.
    • Replication Location: Select a location different from the original File Storage volume.
    • Replication volume name: Must start with a lowercase English letter and use lowercase letters, numbers, and special characters (_) to enter 3 ~ 21 characters.
    • Password: the account password for accessing the CIFS volume. * Enter 6~20 characters, including English letters, numbers, and special characters ($%{}[]"\ ) except.
    • Replication interval: 5 minutes, 1 hour, daily, weekly, monthly; please select. * Replication is performed at the interval below.
      • Daily: Daily 23:59:00
      • Weekly: Every Sunday 23:59:00
      • Monthly: the 1st of each month at 23:59:00
  6. Click the Duplicate page. 7. Copy page.
  7. Check the replication information.
    • When selecting the volume name of the source or replica, you are taken to the volume’s File Storage Details page.
Caution
When cloning is used, recovery via snapshots is not possible, and only a recovery volume can be created. If you need to restore from a snapshot, delete the replication policy first, then restore using the snapshot.
Reference
  • When a replica is created, a copy with the same disk type and protocol is generated.
  • One replica can be created per volume, and data transfer fees are added for cross‑region replication.

Edit Replication Policy

You can change the replication status by modifying the replication policy. To modify the replication policy, follow these steps.

Notice
  • You cannot modify the replication policy while replication is in progress. * Refresh the screen to verify the replication status again.
  • If the replication policy is stopped or the replication status is completed, you can modify the replication policy on the replica.

  1. Click the All Services > Storage > File Storage menu. 1. Navigate to the Service Home page of File Storage.
  2. On the Service Home page, click the File Storage menu. 2. Go to the File Storage list page.
  3. File Storage List page, click the resource to edit the replication policy. 3. Navigate to the File Storage Details page.
  4. Click the Clone page. 4. Go to the File Storage Replication page.
  5. Click the Edit button of the Replication Policy. 5. Edit Replication Policy The popup window opens.
    • use: performs replication. * If Paused, it can be changed to Enabled.
    • Pause: Temporarily stops replication. * In case of use, it can be modified to pause.
    • Delete: Delete the replica. * If Paused, it can be changed to Delete, and after deletion replication cannot be used again.
  6. On the File Storage Replication page, check the updated Replication Policy.
Caution
  • After deletion, the replica becomes the original, so you cannot re-replicate to the previous configuration by modifying the replication policy.
  • During Pause, data changes are saved to the original snapshot to apply the modifications, increasing the snapshot size.
  • After Pause, data stored only in the replica will be deleted if replication is used again.
  • When using a replication policy, replicas become read-only and cannot modify data, so unmount all connected resources before using replication.

Modify replication cycle

You can change the synchronization interval between the original and the replica by modifying the replication interval. To modify the replication interval, follow these steps.

notice
  • You cannot modify the replication interval while replication is in progress. * Refresh the screen to recheck the replication status.
  • If the replication policy is stopped or the replication status is completed, you can modify the replication interval on the replica.

  1. Click the All Services > Storage > File Storage menu. 1. Navigate to the Service Home page of File Storage.
  2. Click the File Storage menu on the Service Home page. 2. File Storage List Navigate to the page.
  3. On the File Storage list page, click the resource whose replication interval you want to edit. 3. Go to the File Storage Details page.
  4. Click the Duplicate page. 4. File Storage Replication Navigate to the page.
  5. Click the Edit button of Replication Cycle. 5. Edit Replication Cycle The popup window opens.
    • Replication interval: Choose from 5 minutes, 1 hour, daily, weekly, or monthly. * Replication is performed at the interval below.
      • Daily: 23:59:00
      • Weekly: Every Sunday 23:59:00
      • Monthly: the 1st of each month at 23:59:00
  6. Check the modified Replication Interval on the File Storage Replication page.
Reference
If the replication policy is stopped or the replication status is completed, you can modify the policy and schedule on the replica.
