Functions

Table 1 lists the functions of CBR.

Before using CBR functions, it is recommended that you learn about basic CBR concepts.

**Table 1** CBR functions
Category	Function	Description
Cloud disk backup	Manual disk backup	Cloud disk backup provides snapshot-based backup for EVS disks on servers. You can back up specific disks to protect data on them.
Cloud disk backup	Policy-based backup	You can create, modify, or delete a backup policy. A backup policy defines the schedule and retention for automatic backups.
Cloud disk backup	Backup management	You can set search criteria to quickly find the backups you want to manage. Then you can view their details, share, restore, or delete them if needed.
Cloud disk backup	Disk restoration using backups	When a disk is faulty, or their data is lost, you can use a backup to quickly restore the data.
Cloud disk backup	Disk creation using backups	You can use a disk backup to create a disk that contains the same data as the backup.
Cloud disk backup	Sharing a Backup	You can share a disk backup with other accounts to allow them to use the backup to create disks.
Cloud server backup	Manual server backup	Cloud server backup uses the consistency snapshot technology to protect data for ECSs without the need to install the Agent. You can use CBR to back up an entire server to protect their data.
Cloud server backup	Policy-based backup	You can create, modify, or delete a backup policy. A backup policy defines the schedule and retention for automatic backups.
Cloud server backup	Backup management	You can set search criteria to quickly find the backups you want to manage. Then you can view their details, share, restore, replicate, or delete them if needed.
Cloud server backup	Server restoration using backups	When a server is faulty, or their data is lost, you can use a backup to quickly restore the data.
Cloud server backup	Sharing a Backup	You can share a server backup with other accounts to allow them to use the backup to create servers.
Cloud server backup	Image creation using server backups	You can create images from ECS backups and then use the images to quickly provision ECSs to restore service. With cross-region replication, you can replicate backups to destination regions, create images, and then use the images to provision ECSs.
Cloud server backup	Database server backup	Cloud server backup supports application-consistent backup in addition to crash-consistent backup. You can use cloud server backup to back up ECSs running MySQL or SAP HANA databases, because application-consistent backup ensures that the backed-up data is transactionally consistent.
Cloud server backup	Cross-region replication	You can replicate backups from one region to another and then use the replicas in the destination region to create images and provision servers.
SFS Turbo backup	Manual SFS Turbo backup	You can back up SFS Turbo file systems and use the backups create new SFS Turbo file system.
SFS Turbo backup	Policy-based backup	You can create, modify, or delete a backup policy. A backup policy defines the schedule and retention for automatic backups.
SFS Turbo backup	Backup management	You can set search criteria to quickly find the backups you want to manage. Then you can view their details, share, restore, replicate, or delete them if needed.
SFS Turbo backup	File system creation using backups	You can use an SFS Turbo file system backup to create a file system that contains the same data as the backup.
SFS Turbo backup	Cross-region replication	You can replicate backups from one region to another and then use the replicas in the destination regions to create file systems.
