Overview

Typical Backup Scenarios

Backup Service can be applied to the following three typical scenarios: local backup, remote backup, and Public Cloud backup.

Note: If you have the Tenant Management Plus license at the same time, the project members (project managers, project admins, and general project members) can perform local backup for VM instances and volumes in the project.

• Local Backup

  A local ImageStore image storage can act as the Local Backup Server to store scheduled backup data of the local VM instances, volumes, and management node databases. Meanwhile, the seamless switchover between the primary local backup server and the secondary local backup server is supported, which effectively ensures your business continuity.

  If your local data is mistakenly deleted, or data in the local primary storage is damaged, you can recover the backup data from the local backup server, as shown in Local Backup Scenario-1

  
  
  

  If you encounter a disaster in your local data center, you can rely totally on your local backup server to rebuild your data center and recover your business, as shown in Local Backup Scenario-2.

  
  
  

• Remote Backup

  A storage server in a remote data center can act as the Remote Backup Server to store the scheduled backup data of the local VM instances, volumes, and databases. The backup data needs to be synchronized to the remote backup server from the local backup server.

  If your local data is mistakenly deleted, or data in the local primary storage is damaged, you can recover the backup data from the remote backup server, as shown in Remote Backup Scenario-1

  
  
  

  If you encounter a disaster in your data center, you can rely totally on your remote backup server to rebuild your data center and recover your business, as shown in Remote Backup Scenario-2.

  
  
  

• Public Cloud Backup

  The storage server in the Public Cloud can act as the Public Cloud Backup Server to store the scheduled backup data of the local VM instances, volumes, and databases. The backup data can be synchronized to the Public Cloud backup server from the local backup server.

  If your local data is mistakenly deleted, or data in the local primary storage is damaged, you can recover the backup data from the Public Cloud backup server, as shown in Public Cloud Backup Scenario-1.

  
  
  

  If you encounter a disaster in your data center, you can rely totally on your Public Cloud backup server to rebuild your data center and recover your business, as shown in Public Cloud Backup Scenario-2.
