Functions

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.

Backup sharing

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 of ECSs and BMSs. You can use CBR to back up an entire server to protect their data, especially when high data consistency is required, such as in RAID clusters.

Backup of specific disks on a server

You can create a single backup for multiple disks on a server to save the vault space.

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.

Backup sharing

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.

Database server backup

Cloud server backup supports application-consistent backup in addition to crash-consistent backup. You can use cloud server backup to back up ECSs running MySQL or SAP HANA databases, because application-consistent backup ensures that the backed-up data is transactionally consistent.

Cross-region replication

You can replicate backups from one region to another and then use the replicas in the destination region to create images and provision servers.

SFS Turbo backup

Manual SFS Turbo file system 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.

File system creation using backups

You can use an SFS Turbo file system backup to create a file system that contains the same data as the backup.

Cross-region replication

You can replicate backups from one region to another and then use the replicas in the destination regions to create file systems.

Hybrid cloud backup

Synchronization of on-premises server backups to the cloud

If an on-premises VMware VM has been backed up offline and the backups has been uploaded to an OBS bucket, you can synchronize the backups from the OBS bucket to a hybrid cloud backup vault for disaster recovery.

Server restoration using backups

You can use the backups in the hybrid cloud backup vault to restore data to cloud servers for disaster recovery, service migration, development, and testing.

File backup

File backup

You can back up files and directories on your cloud servers and on-premises hosts, instead of backing up the entire servers or disks.

Data restoration using backups

If data of a file is lost due to accidental deletion or virus attack, you can use the backups to restore the data.
