Functions¶
Table 1 lists the functions of CBR.
Before using CBR functions, it is recommended that you learn about basic CBR concepts.
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. |
Policy-based backup | You can create, modify, or delete a backup policy. A backup policy defines the schedule and retention for automatic backups. | |
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. | |
Disk restoration using backups | When a disk is faulty, or their data is lost, you can use a backup to quickly restore the data. | |
Disk creation using backups | You can use a disk backup to create a disk that contains the same data as the 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. You can use CBR to back up an entire server to protect their data. |
Policy-based backup | You can create, modify, or delete a backup policy. A backup policy defines the schedule and retention for automatic backups. | |
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. | |
Server restoration using backups | When a server is faulty, or their data is lost, you can use a backup to quickly restore the data. | |
Sharing a Backup | You can share a server backup with other accounts to allow them to use the backup to create servers. | |
Image creation using server backups | You can create images from ECS backups and then use the images to quickly provision ECSs to restore service. |
