Functions

Table 1 lists the functions of CBR.

Before using CBR functions, it is recommended that you learn about basic CBR concepts.

**Table 1** CBR functions
Category	Function	Description
Cloud disk backup	Manual disk backup	A cloud disk backup is a snapshot-based backup of EVS disks on a server. You can back up specific disks or all disks to protect data on them.
Cloud disk backup	Policy-based backup	With a backup policy, you can schedule regular backups of all disks to a vault, enabling fast restoration in case of data loss or corruption.
Cloud disk backup	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.
Cloud disk backup	Disk restoration from backups	When a disk is faulty, or their data is lost, you can use a backup to quickly restore the data.
Cloud disk backup	Disk creation from backups	You can use a disk backup to create a disk that contains the same data as the backup.
Cloud disk 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 for ECSs and BMSs without the need to install the Agent on servers. 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.
Cloud server backup	Backup of specific disks on a server	You can create a single backup for multiple disks on a server to save the vault space.
Cloud server backup	Policy-based backup	With a backup policy, you can schedule regular backups of servers, enabling fast restoration in case of data loss or corruption.
Cloud server backup	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.
Cloud server backup	Server restoration from backups	When a server is faulty, or their data is lost, you can use a backup to quickly restore the data.
Cloud server backup	Backup sharing	You can share a server backup with other accounts to allow them to use the backup to create servers.
Cloud server backup	Image creation from server backups	You can create images from ECS backups and then use the images to quickly provision ECSs to restore services.
Cloud server backup	Database server backup	CBR supports both crash-consistent backup and application-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.
Cloud server backup	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 backup	You can back up SFS Turbo file systems and use the backups to create new SFS Turbo file systems.
SFS Turbo backup	Policy-based backup	With a backup policy, you can schedule regular backups of SFS Turbo file systems, enabling fast restoration in case of data loss or corruption.
SFS Turbo backup	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.
SFS Turbo backup	File system creation from backups	You can use an SFS Turbo file system backup to create a file system that contains the same data as the backup.
SFS Turbo backup	Cross-region replication	You can replicate backups from one region to another and then use the replicas to create file systems in the destination region.
