Use Replication

You can create a replica of the File Storage at another location and synchronize it periodically. You can perform the 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 at a different location. To create a replica volume, follow the steps below.

  1. Click the All Services > Storage > File Storage menu. Navigate to the Service Home page of File Storage.
  2. On the Service Home page, click the File Storage menu. Go to the File Storage List page.
  3. On the File Storage List page, click the resource for which you want to create a replica. You will be taken to the File Storage Details page.
  4. Click the Create Clone button. The Create Clone popup window opens.
  5. Enter the replication location, replication volume name, password, and replication interval, then click the Create button. It creates a replica with the same disk type.
    • Replication location: Choose a location different from the original File Storage volume.
    • Replication Volume Name: Begin with a lowercase English letter and use lowercase letters, numbers, and special characters (_) to enter 3–21 characters.
    • Password: This is the account password for accessing a CIFS volume. Enter 6 to 20 characters, including letters, numbers, and special characters ($%{}[]"\ excluded).
    • Replication interval: Select from 5 minutes, 1 hour, daily, weekly, monthly. Replication will be performed using the interval below.
      • Daily: every day 23:59:00
      • Weekly: Every Sunday 23:59:00
      • Monthly: 1st day of each month 23:59:00
  6. Click the Clone page. You will be taken to the Clone page.
  7. Check the replication information.
    • When selecting the volume name of the original or replica, you are taken to the volume’s File Storage Details page.
Caution
When using replication, you cannot recover from a snapshot and can only create a recovery volume. If you need snapshot recovery, delete the replication policy and recover using a snapshot.
Reference
  • When creating a replica, a replica with the same disk type and protocol is created.
  • You can create one replica per volume, and data transfer charges apply 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.

  1. Click the All Services > Storage > File Storage menu. Navigate to the Service Home page of File Storage.
  2. On the Service Home page, click the File Storage menu. Navigate to the File Storage list page.
  3. On the File Storage List page, click the resource to edit the replication policy. You will be taken to the File Storage Details page.
  4. Click the Replication page. Navigate to the File Storage Replication page.
  5. Click the Edit button of the Replication Policy. The Edit Replication Policy popup window opens.
    • Use: performs replication. If it is Paused, you can change it to Use.
    • Pause: Temporarily pauses replication. If enabled, you can modify it to Pause.
    • Delete: Delete the replica. If it is Paused, you can modify it to Delete, and after deletion you cannot use replication again.
  6. Check the updated Replication Policy on the File Storage Replication page.
Caution
  • After deletion, the replica becomes the original, so you cannot replicate back to the previous configuration by modifying the replication policy.
  • Data stored only in the replica after a pause will be deleted when replication is used again.
  • When using the replication policy, replicas are in read‑only state and data cannot be modified. Unmount from all connected resources before using replication.
Reference
  • If the replication policy is stopped or the replication status is completed, you can modify the policy and schedule on the replica.

Edit 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.

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