The TencentDB for SQL Server console provides the list of backup files that can be downloaded over the private or public network. They may then be used to restore data from one database to another (such as a self-built one).
This document describes how to download a backup file in the console.
Directions
Downloading the backup file of running instance
- Log in to the TencentDB for SQL Server console.
- Select the region at the top, find the target instance, and click the target instance ID or Manage in the Operation column to enter the instance management page.

- On the instance management page, select Backup Management and view the target backup file in the data or log backup list.
- To download an archive backup file, locate the backup record in the backup list, click Download in the Operation column, and download the file on the displayed download page.

- To download unarchived backup files, locate the backup record in the backup list, click View Details > Download in the Operation column, and download the backup file of each database on the displayed download page.

- In the pop-up window, get the file download address for fast download over the private network by running the
wget
command, or directly click Download.
Note:
- We recommend you copy the private network download address, log in to a Linux CVM instance in the same VPC as the TencentDB instance, and run the
wget
command for download over the private network at a higher speed.
- The download address is valid for 15 minutes, after which you will need to enter the download page again to get a new one.
- The URL must be enclosed with quotation marks when wget is used to download.
Downloading the backup file of isolated instance
You can also download the backup file of an isolated instance.
- Log in to the TencentDB for SQL Server console.
- Select the region at the top, find the target instance, and click More > Download Backup in the Operation column to enter the backup download page.

- To download an archive backup file, locate the backup record in the backup list, click Download in the Operation column, and download the file on the displayed download page.
- To download unarchived backup files, locate the backup record in the backup list, click View Details > Download in the Operation column, and download the backup file of each database on the displayed download page.
