A backup vault is a repository Hybrid Backup Recovery (HBR) uses to store backup data in the cloud. To meet the requirements for disaster recovery, you can create a remote mirror vault for a backup vault and back up data from the backup vault to the mirror vault. This way, the data in the backup vault is automatically replicated to the mirror vault.
Prerequisites
Usage notes
- You can create only one mirror vault for each backup vault.
- You can back up data to a remote mirror vault and restore backup data from the mirror vault. You cannot create backup plans for the mirror vault.
- HBR synchronizes historical data in a source backup vault to the mirror vault 90 minutes after the mirror vault is created.
- A mirror vault contains all backup data that is stored in the source backup vault. The mirror vault also contains the data that is generated in the source backup vault after the mirror vault is created.
Limits
- Free Object Storage Service (OSS) or Apsara File Storage NAS backup vaults
On the Storage Vaults page, you can change the value of the Trial Settings parameter for a free backup vault. This way, you can convert the free backup vault to a paid backup vault. Then, you can use the cross-region backup feature.
- Backup vaults for which the Key Management Service (KMS) encryption feature is enabled.
- Mirror backup vaults
- Archive vaults
- Database backup vaults
- Abnormal backup vaults, for example, backup vaults in the ERROR state
Procedure
What to do next
- Delete a mirror vault
Before you can delete a source backup vault, you must delete its mirror vault. To delete a mirror vault, find the information card of the mirror vault and choose
in the upper-right corner of the card. - Restore data from a mirror vault
- Log on to the Hybrid Backup Recovery (HBR) console.
- In the left-side navigation pane, select the data source from which you want to restore data. For example, you can select OSS Backup.
- Select the region where the mirror vault resides.
- In the upper-right corner of the Restore Jobs tab, click Create Restore Job.
In the Source Vault field, select the mirror vault that you created. For other parameters, make sure the settings are the same as the settings that you configured when you created the backup job. After the restore job is complete, data is restored to the data source in the region where the mirror vault resides.
