Expanding vault capacity

The first 10 GB of vault space is provided at no cost to you. When you need to increase the vault capacity, you can expand the size of your vault up to 12,000 GB. You don't need to create a duplicate or manually migrate data to a larger volume. The limit increase process does not cause any outage or lack of access.

Ordering an increase in the UI

Log in to the IBM Cloud console. From the menu , select Classic Infrastructure .
Click Storage > Cloud Backup to display the servers with backup service.
Select the vault that you want to extend.
Click Actions, and select Modify IBM Cloud Backup for Classic.
On the next screen, select the new size and click Upgrade.

Ordering an increase with Terraform

To use Terraform, download the Terraform CLI and configure the IBM Cloud Provider plug-in. For more information, see Getting started with Terraform.

Use the ibm_storage_evault resource to update your IBM Cloud® Backup for Classic instance. The following example increases the vault capacity to 100 GB when it is applied.

resource "ibm_storage_evault" "test" {
  datacenter          = "dal13"
  capacity            = "100"
}

For more information about arguments and attributes, see ibm_storage_evault.

Billing

Billing for the volume is automatically updated to add the prorated difference of the new price to the current billing cycle. Then, the full new amount is billed in the next billing cycle.

The same process can be used to downsize your IBM Cloud Backup for Classic.
