Backup alternatives for all services

This service is intended to mount a remote storage to make your backup copies. Remote storage will provide additional space in a different storage to where your server is running. For dedicated servers it is mounted by NFS or iSCSI and for virtual servers, cloud or vps a direct unit of the contracted space is mounted. This way you can make your backups or copy the files that you consider critical. a copy (image) of the virtual server is made according to the periodicity and contracted restoration points. When you need a restoration, take the files you need from the remote storage. In the case of a reinstallation of the server, the remote storage is reassembled so that it returns to the most recent files.

In the case of Virtual Cloud Servers or Virtual Datacenter this service can be complemented with Virtual Server Backup

The storage for backup in the Virtual Datacenter service defines a new storage policy different from the production one (Standard Storage Policy -where the VMs are executed-) called Backup Storage Policy. With this additional space you can create disks dependent on one or more VMs or disks independent of VMs (disks by name) and mount them on one or more VMs as required. The space of each disk can be defined when creating it.

A copy of the virtual server is made, according to the periodicity and with the contracted restoration points. In the case that you need to restore the VM, you only have to ask the support area to restore the indicated restoration point. The value of this service varies according to the size of the disk, the periodicity and the hired restoration points. In addition, it can be complemented with Remote Storage for backup of point files within the virtual machine.

A copy of all the VMs within the Virtual Datacenter is made, according to the periodicity and the contracted restore points. In the case of needing to restore a VM, the VM is recovered to the indicated restore point, restoring it as a new one and leaving the previous VM if the Virtual Datacenter has the available storage resources or the previous one is overwritten if it does not.

The "Disks by Name" are independent of the VMs and these special disks are not taken by the Backup. Pay special attention to this point since the flexibility of using this type of disks has as a counterpart that they are not included in the backup.
