Backing Up Desktop Data

Scenario

Workspace uses Cloud Backup and Recovery (CBR) to back up desktop data. CBR protects your workloads by ensuring the security and consistency of your data.

Prerequisites

Workspace has been subscribed to.
The administrator has the permission on CBR.
- By default, a Huawei account has the operation permissions on all Huawei Cloud services.
- To use CBR, the IAM account created under the Huawei account must be added to the admin user group or a user group with CBR operation permissions. Go to the IAM page to check whether the user belongs to the admin user group. If not, grant the IAM account the permission on CBR.

Procedure

For details, see Creating an SFS Turbo Backup in the Cloud Backup and Recovery Getting Started.

When creating a desktop backup vault, select the cloud desktop to be backed up.
For details, see Creating a Desktop Backup in the Cloud Backup and Recovery Getting Started.
- A cloud desktop can be backed up only when its status is Available or In-use. If you have performed operations such as expanding, attaching, detaching, or deleting a desktop, refresh the page first to ensure that the operation is complete and then determine whether to back up the desktop.
- If you delete files on the desktop during the backup, the backup of deleted files may fail. Therefore, to ensure data integrity, you are advised to delete the target data after the current backup is complete and then perform a backup again.
