Cloud Backup:Overview

Last Updated:Sep 21, 2023

Cloud Backup is an easy-to-use data management service that is deployed in the public cloud to offer high agility, efficiency, security, and reliability. The service provides comprehensive protection that includes data backup and disaster recovery for Alibaba Cloud Elastic Compute Service (ECS) resources. The resources include ECS instances, databases on ECS instances, file systems on ECS instances, and ECS disks.

  • ECS instance backup

    Cloud Backup is integrated with the Alibaba Cloud snapshot service to provide agentless backup for ECS instances. Cloud Backup ensures instance-level crash consistency and application consistency for ECS instances whose disks are of the ESSD type. Cloud Backup creates snapshots for each disk on an ECS instance to ensure data consistency for each disk of the non-ESSD type.

  • ECS database backup

    Cloud Backup helps back up MySQL, Oracle, and SQL Server databases that are deployed on ECS instances.

  • ECS file system backup

    Cloud Backup helps back up all files on ECS instances. You can restore the files based on your business requirements.

  • ECS disk backup

    Cloud Backup is integrated with the Alibaba Cloud snapshot service to provide agentless backup for ECS instances and disks. You can use Cloud Backup to create crash-consistent snapshots for all disks, including system disks and data disks. Then, you can use these snapshots to back up or restore an entire disk.
