Quick Start

Backup management module integrates multiple disaster recovery scenarios such as local backup, remote backup, and Public Cloud backup. You can choose different backup methods that are suitable to your business needs.

Local Backup

Local backup allows you to backup and recover the data of the local VM instances, volumes, and management node databases.

Backup:
- Backup the data of the local VM instances/volumes/databases to a specified local backup server as scheduled.
- If you specify two local backup servers, the failover mechanism is supported.
- For backup jobs of local VM instances/volumes, you can configure incremental backup and full backup according to your business needs.
Recover:
- 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.
- 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.

Local backup practice covers the following two parts:

Backup Practice:
1. Add one or more local backup servers to the Cloud. To add a local backup server, see Local Backup Server.
2. Create backup jobs of local VM instances/volumes/databases. To create a backup job, see Backup Job.
3. Manage local backup data. For more information, see Local Backup Data.
Recover Practice:
1. Recover the backup data of local VM instances/volumes/databases from the local backup server. To recover local backup data, see Local Backup Data.
2. Check the recovered resources.

For detailed information of the local backup practice, see Local Backup Practice.

Remote Backup

Remote backup allows you to backup and recover the data of the local VM instances, volumes, and management node databases to/from the remote backup server.

Backup:
- Backup the data of the local VM instances/volumes/databases to a specified remote backup server as scheduled.
- The backup data needs to be synchronized to the remote backup server from the local backup server.
- For backup jobs of local VM instances/volumes, you can configure incremental backup and full backup according to your business needs.
Recover:
- 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.
- If you encounter a disaster in your local data center, you can rely totally on your remote backup server to rebuild your data center and recover your business.
- Before recovering the data of VM instances/volumes, you need to synchronize the data from the remote backup server to local.
- You can directly recover the backup data of databases to local.

Remote backup practice covers the following two parts:

Backup Practice:
1. Add a remote backup server to the Cloud. To add a remote backup server, see Remote Backup Server.
2. Add one or more local backup servers to the Cloud. To add a local backup server, see Local Backup Server.
3. Create backup jobs of local VM instances/volumes/databases. To create a backup job, see Backup Job.
4. Manage remote backup data. Form more information, see Remote Backup Data.
Recover Practice:
1. Recover the backup data of local VM instances/volumes/databases from the remote backup server. To recover the remote backup data, see Remote Backup Data.
2. Check the recovered resources.

For detailed information of the remote backup practice, see Remote Backup Practice.

Public Cloud Backup

Public Cloud backup allows you to backup and recover the data of the local VM instances, volumes, and management node databases to/from the Public Cloud backup server.

Backup:
- Backup the data of the local VM instances/volumes/databases to a specified Public Cloud backup server as scheduled.
- The backup data needs to be synchronized to the Public Cloud backup server from the local backup server.
- For backup jobs of local VM instances/volumes, you can configure incremental backup and full backup according to your business needs.
Recover:
- 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.
- If you encounter a disaster in your local data center, you can rely totally on your Public Cloud backup server to rebuild your data center and recover your business.
- Before recovering the data of VM instances/volumes, you need to synchronize the data from the Public Cloud backup server to local.
- You can directly recover the backup data of databases to local.

Public Cloud backup practice covers the following two parts:

Backup Practice:
1. Add a Public Cloud backup server to the Cloud. To add a Public Cloud backup server, see Remote Backup Server.
2. Add one or more local backup servers to the Cloud. To add a local backup server, see Local Backup Server.
3. Create backup jobs of local VM instances/volumes/databases. To create a backup job, see Backup Job.
4. Manage Public Cloud backup data. For more information, see Remote Backup Data.
Recover Practice:
1. Recover the backup data of local VM instances/volumes/databases from the Public Cloud backup server. To recover Public Cloud backup data, see Remote Backup Data.
2. Check the recovered resources.

For detailed information of Public Cloud backup practice, see Public Cloud Backup Practice.
