Category	Function	Description
Cloud disk backup	Manual disk backup	Cloud disk backup provides snapshot-based backup for EVS disks on servers. You can back up specific disks to protect data on them.
	Policy-based backup	You can create, modify, or delete a backup policy. A backup policy defines the schedule and retention for automatic backups.
	Backup management	You can set search criteria to quickly find the backups you want to manage. Then you can view their details, share, restore, or delete them if needed.
	Disk restoration using backups	When a disk is faulty, or their data is lost, you can use a backup to quickly restore the data.
	Disk creation using backups	You can use a disk backup to create a disk that contains the same data as the backup.
	Sharing a Backup	You can share a disk backup with other accounts to allow them to use the backup to create disks.
Cloud server backup	Manual server backup	Cloud server backup uses the consistency snapshot technology to protect data for ECSs. You can use CBR to back up an entire server to protect their data.
	Policy-based backup	You can create, modify, or delete a backup policy. A backup policy defines the schedule and retention for automatic backups.
	Backup management	You can set search criteria to quickly find the backups you want to manage. Then you can view their details, share, restore, replicate, or delete them if needed.
	Server restoration using backups	When a server is faulty, or their data is lost, you can use a backup to quickly restore the data.
	Sharing a Backup	You can share a server backup with other accounts to allow them to use the backup to create servers.
	Image creation using server backups	You can create images from ECS backups and then use the images to quickly provision ECSs to restore service.
SFS Turbo backup	Manual SFS Turbo backup	You can back up SFS Turbo file systems and use the backups create new SFS Turbo file system.
	Policy-based backup	You can create, modify, or delete a backup policy. A backup policy defines the schedule and retention for automatic backups.
	Backup management	You can set search criteria to quickly find the backups you want to manage. Then you can view their details, share, restore, replicate, or delete them if needed.
