Backing Up EVS Disks

Scenarios

EVS disk backups are created using the CBR service.

This section describes how to quickly purchase a disk backup vault and perform backup.

Constraints

• Backups can be created only when the disks are in the Available or In-use state.
• Backup data can only be restored to original disks.
• Only users with the CBR FullAccess permissions can use the cloud disk backup function. If the user does not have the permissions, contact the account administrator to grant the permissions first.

Creating a Disk Backup

Before backing up an EVS disk using CBR, you need to buy a disk backup vault, associate the disk with the vault, and then create a backup. Table 1 describes the procedure.

Related Information

• After the backup is complete, you can use it to restore disk data on the Backups tab. For details, see Restoring from a Cloud Disk Backup.
• You can also use the disk backup to create a new disk. The newly created disk will contain the same data at the time of the backup. For details, see Creating a Disk from a Cloud Disk Backup.
