What Are the Differences Between Cloud Server Backup and Cloud Disk Backup?

Table 1 describes the differences between cloud server backup and cloud disk backup.

**Table 1** Differences between cloud server backup and cloud disk backup
Item	Cloud Server Backup	Cloud Disk Backup
Resources to be backed up or restored	All disks (system and data disks) on a server	One or more specified disks (system or data disks)
Recommended scenario	An entire cloud server needs to be protected.	Only data disks need to be backed up, because the system disk does not contain users' application data.
Advantages	All disks on a server are backed up at the same time, ensuring data consistency.	Backup cost is reduced without compromising data security.
