How Can I Back Up the Current Status of an ECS for Restoration in the Case of a System Fault?

You can back up the ECS in either of the following ways:

  • (Recommended) Use CBR to create a scheduled backup task for the ECS. When the ECS is faulty, select the backup corresponding to the time point to which the ECS is to be restored, create a full-ECS image from the backup, and use the image to apply for a new ECS. Alternatively, you can change the image of the faulty ECS.
  • Create a system disk image from the ECS. When the ECS is faulty, use the system disk image to apply for a new ECS or change the image of the faulty ECS.
  • Create a snapshot for the system disk of the ECS. When the ECS is faulty, you can roll it back from the snapshot.
