Functions

Table 1 lists the basic functions of CBR.

Before using this service, it is recommended that you go to basic concepts to learn more about CBR, such as about vault and backup policy.

**Table 1** CBR basic functions
Category	Function	Description
Cloud disk backup	Backing up disks	Cloud disk backup provides snapshot-based data protection for EVS disks. You can use CBR to back up a single disk on a server to protect the data on that disk.
	Policy-driven data backup	A backup policy allows a vault to automatically execute backup tasks at specified times or intervals. Periodic backups can be used to restore data quickly against data corruption or loss.
	Backup management	When a backup task is running or completed, you can set search criteria to filter backups from the backup list to manage them and view their details.
	Restoring disk data using backups	When a disk is faulty, or disk data is lost due to misoperations, you can use a backup to restore the disk.
	Creating disks using backups	You can use a disk backup to create a disk. After the disk is created, data on the new disk is the same as that in the disk backup.
	Sharing backups	You can share a server or disk backup with other accounts. Shared backups can be used to create disks or servers.
Cloud server backup	Backing up servers	Cloud server backup uses the consistency snapshot technology for disks to protect data of ECSs. You can use CBR to back up an entire server to protect the data on the server.
	Policy-driven data backup	A backup policy allows a vault to automatically execute backup tasks at specified times or intervals. Periodic backups can be used to restore data quickly against data corruption or loss.
	Backup management	When a backup task is running or completed, you can set search criteria to filter backups from the backup list to manage them and view their details.
	Restoring server data using backups	When a server is faulty, or server data is lost due to misoperations, you can use a backup to restore the server.
	Sharing backups	You can share a server or disk backup with other accounts. Shared backups can be used to create disks or servers.
	Creating images using backups	Cloud server backup allows you to create images using ECS backups. You can use the images to provision ECSs to rapidly restore service running environments.
	Backing up database servers	Cloud server backup supports application-consistent backup in addition to crash-consistent backup. Application-consistent backup ensures the consistency of application data by backing up files and disks at the exact same time. It is suitable for backing up ECSs as well as the MySQL or SAP HANA databases running on them.
SFS Turbo backup	Backing up SFS Turbo file systems	SFS Turbo backup allows you to back up SFS Turbo file systems. An SFS Turbo file system backup can be used to create a new SFS Turbo file system, preventing the loss of important data.
	Policy-driven data backup	A backup policy allows a vault to automatically execute backup tasks at specified times or intervals. Periodic backups can be used to restore data quickly against data corruption or loss.
	Backup management	When a backup task is running or completed, you can set search criteria to filter backups from the backup list to manage them and view their details.
	Restoring file system data using backups	When a file system is faulty or the data is lost due to misoperations, you can use a backup to restore the file system.
	Creating file systems using backups	You can use an SFS Turbo file system backup to create a new file system. After it is created, data on the new file system is the same as that in the backup.
