Overview

What Is CBR?

Cloud Backup and Recovery (CBR) enables you to back up cloud servers and disks with ease. In the event 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 protects your services by ensuring the security and consistency of your data.

FlexusX instances can be backed up using cloud server backup and cloud disk backup.
  • Cloud server backup (recommended): Use this backup method if you want to back up the data of all EVS disks (system and data disks) attached to a FlexusX instance. All disks on the instance are backed up at the same time to ensure data consistency.
  • Cloud disk backup: Use this backup method if you want to back up the data of one or more EVS disks (system or data disk) attached to a FlexusX instance. This minimizes backup costs on the top of data security.

For more information, see CBR Architecture, Backup Mechanism, and Backup Options.

Description

Associating a FlexusX Instance with a Backup Vault

If you want to back up a FlexusX instance, associate the instance with a backup vault first.

Backing Up a FlexusX Instance

CBR enhances data integrity and service continuity. After a FlexusX instance is backed up, if anything should happen to the instance, you can always restore its data.

Expanding Vault Capacity

If the capacity of an existing backup vault is insufficient, the backup may fail.

To ensure a successful backup, you can log in to the CBR console to expand the vault capacity. For details, see Expanding Vault Capacity.
