Backups of cloud servers
Primary and recovery servers are backed up agentless on the cloud site. These backups have the following restrictions.
-
The only possible backup location is the cloud storage. Primary servers are backed up to the Primary servers backup storage.
Microsoft Azure backup locations are not supported.
- A backup plan cannot be applied to multiple servers. Each server must have its own backup plan, even if all of the backup plans have the same settings.
- Only one backup plan can be applied to a server.
- Application-aware backup is not supported.
- Encryption is not available.
- Backup options are not available.
When you delete a primary server, its backups are also deleted.
A recovery server is backed up only in the failover state. Its backups continue the backup sequence of the original server. When a failback is performed, the original server can continue this backup sequence. So, the backups of the recovery server can only be deleted manually or as a result of applying the retention rules. When a recovery server is deleted, its backups are always kept.
The backup plans for cloud servers are performed according to UTC time.
