Backup Storage logo NFS-Based Backup Storage

Cloud Backup Storage for Your Backup Workflows

Create a dedicated NFS backup destination for cloud instances, applications and other workloads. You control what gets backed up, when it runs and how long the backup data is retained.

NFS-Based Storage Customer-Controlled Backup Jobs Flexible Storage Capacity Deploy in Available Cloud Regions

Backup Storage provides the destination. Backup schedules, retention and application-specific backup procedures are configured separately.

How it works

Backup Storage Is the Destination — You Control the Backup

Four steps, and the storage only ever plays one role.

1

Deploy Backup Storage

Create the Backup Storage resource from the supported marketplace workflow.

2

Connect Your Workload

Configure the appropriate NFS access between the workload and Backup Storage.

3

Configure Your Backup Job

Your application, script or backup software determines what, when, retention and format.

4

Restore When Required

Use the stored backup data according to your application's or tool's restore procedure.

Deploying Backup Storage alone does not start a backup job.

Supported Workloads

One Backup Destination, Different Workflows

Cloud Instances

Store backup files generated from Linux workloads.

Websites & Applications

Send application-generated archives or backup files to the storage destination.

Databases

Store database dump files or backups generated using the database's supported backup method.

Control Panels

Compatible hosting/control-panel backup systems can use the storage where NFS destinations are supported.

Custom Scripts

Use scheduled scripts or automation that writes backup data to the mounted NFS location.

Compatibility depends on the backup method and application. Backup Storage does not automatically make a workload application-consistent.

Roles & Responsibilities

Storage and Backup Are Two Different Parts

Backup Storage provides
  • Destination capacity
  • NFS access
  • Storage for generated backup files
  • Independently provisioned backup space
Your backup workflow controls
  • Files/data selected
  • Backup frequency
  • Backup format
  • Retention period
  • Encryption where supported by your tool
  • Restore procedure
  • Database/application consistency

AccuWeb.Cloud provides the backup destination. Your backup tool or application determines how the backup itself is created.

Architecture & Planning

A Backup Strategy Is More Than Storage Capacity

Plan around frequency, retention, recovery requirements, and projected data growth.

Backup Frequency

How often does the workload need a recoverable copy?

Retention

How many historical backups should be retained?

Recovery Requirement

How quickly must the data be restored?

Capacity

How much backup data will accumulate after retention and growth are considered?

Backup capacity should be planned around backup size × retention × expected data growth.

Product Clarification

Backup Storage vs AccuWeb.Cloud Backup & Snapshot Features

Understand how dedicated Backup Storage differs from built-in platform backup policies and snapshots.

Backup Storage

A separately deployed NFS storage destination that the customer uses with their own backup workflow.

Platform Backup / Snapshot Options

Where available, AccuWeb.Cloud also provides platform-level options such as:

  • Complimentary 7-day disaster-recovery backup for supported services
  • Optional hourly, daily or weekly backup policies
  • Instance and volume snapshots

These are separate features. Deploying the Backup Storage product does not automatically enable or replace platform backup policies or snapshots.

Global Regions

Keep Backup Architecture Aligned With Your Workload

Deploy Backup Storage in an available region appropriate for your workload and recovery design.

New York New York Los Angeles Los Angeles Frankfurt Frankfurt Mumbai Mumbai

Cross-region backup architectures require separate networking, replication and recovery planning and can be reviewed as a custom design.

Transparent Cloud Pricing

Backup Storage Pricing

Flexible Pay-As-You-Use Pricing — pay based on the resources you provision, with flexible hourly billing and no long-term contracts.

Backup Storage cost depends on the storage capacity and infrastructure provisioned for the backup destination. Current pricing tiers are shown when you configure Backup Storage in the AccuWeb.Cloud console.
