Add a Local Backup Storage

Add a local backup storage to store scheduled backup data for local virtual machines or the platform database. Local backup storage supports seamless failover to effectively ensure business continuity.

In case of accidental deletion or data corruption locally, you can restore backup data from local backup storage back to your local environment.

In the event of a disaster at the local data center, you can completely rely on the local backup storage to rebuild the data center and recover businesses.

You can choose any of the following methods to add local backup storage:

• Reuse an existing image storage to store backup data. For more information, see Ruse Image Storage.
• Reuse an existing host and utilize free capacity on the host to store backup data. For more information, see Ruse Host.
• Add a dedicated backup storage and use free disks or local directories on the storage to store backup data. For more information, see Dedicated Backup Storage.

You can flexibly configure the number of local backup storage according to your actual business needs.
