Creating an SFS Turbo Backup Vault

This section describes how to create an SFS Turbo backup vault.

Procedure

  1. Log in to CBR Console.

    1. Log in to the management console.

    2. Click image1 in the upper left corner and select a region.

    3. Click image2 and choose Storage > Cloud Backup and Recovery > SFS Turbo Backups.

  2. In the upper right corner of the page, click Create SFS Turbo Backup Vault.

  3. Select a protection type.

    • Backup: An SFS Turbo backup vault stores SFS Turbo backups.

  4. (Optional) In the file system list, select the file systems to be backed up. After file systems are selected, they are added to the list of selected file systems. See Figure 1.

    Note

    • The selected file systems must have not been associated with any vault and must be in the Available state.

    • You can also associate file systems with the vault you are creating later if you skip this step.

  5. Specify a vault capacity ranging from 10 GB to 10,485,760 GB. Properly plan the vault capacity, which must be at least the same as the size of the file systems you want to back up.

  6. Configure auto backup.

    • If you select Configure, you must then select an existing backup policy or create a new policy. After the vault is created, CBR will apply the policy to this vault, and all file systems associated with this vault will be automatically backed up based on this policy.

    • If you select Skip, file systems associated with this vault will not be automatically backed up until you apply a backup policy to the vault.

  7. (Optional) Add tags to the vault.

    Tags are key-value pairs, which are used to identify, classify, and search for vaults. You can add a maximum of 20 tags for a vault, and vault tags are only used for vault search and management. See Figure 2.
