Scenarios
CSBS supports one-off backup and periodic backup. A one-off backup job is manually created by users and takes effect for only one time. Periodic backup jobs are automatically driven by a user-defined backup policy.
Table 1 describes the two backup options.
Item |
One-Off Backup |
Periodic Backup |
---|---|---|
Backup policy |
None |
Required |
Number of backup operations |
Only one, manual |
Periodic operations driven by the backup policy |
Backup name |
User-defined backup name, which defaults to manualbk_xxxx |
System-assigned backup name, which defaults to autobk_xxxx |
Backup method |
Full backup at the first time and incremental backup subsequently, by default |
Full backup at the first time and incremental backup subsequently, by default |
Application scenario |
Executed before patching or upgrading the OS or upgrading an application on an ECS. A one-off backup can be used to restore an ECS to the original state in case the patching or upgrading fails. |
Executed for routine maintenance of an ECS. The latest backup can be used to restore an ECS in case an unexpected failure or data loss occurs. |
Users can also intermix the two backup options for a special need. For example, associate all ECSs with a backup policy to execute periodic backup of all ECSs, and manually perform one-off backups for the most important ECSs to further ensure those ECSs' data security, as shown in Figure 1.
