Viewing Backup Information and Supported Operations

Background

Cloud Backup and Recovery (CBR) enables you to back up cloud servers and disks with ease. In case of a virus attack, accidental deletion, or software or hardware fault, you can restore data to any point in the past when the data was backed up.

CBR involves backups, vaults, and policies.

• A backup is a copy of a particular chunk of data and is usually stored elsewhere so that it may be used to restore the original data in the event of a data loss.
• CBR stores backups in vaults. If your server contains the cloud backup service, the cloud servers or disks will be associated with the corresponding vault, and cloud server backups or cloud disk backups generated will be stored in the associated vault.
• There are backup policies and replication policies.
  • Backup policies: To perform automatic backups, configure a backup policy by setting the execution times of backup tasks, the backup cycle, and retention rules, and then apply the policy to a vault.
  • Replication policies: To automatically replicate backups or vaults, configure a replication policy by setting the execution times of replication tasks, the replication cycle, and retention rules, and then apply the policy to a vault. Replicas of backups must be stored in replication vaults.
