- After scaling out or scaling in a logical cluster, you need to reconfigure the backup policy for full backup. For details, see Configuring an Automated Snapshot Policy.
- Log in to the GaussDB(DWS) console. In the navigation pane, choose Clusters > Dedicated Clusters.
- On the displayed Clusters page, choose More > Scale Node > Scale Out.
