Managing Server Backup¶
After ransomware backup is enabled, the backup vault periodically backs up your servers based on the backup policy. You can expand the vault capacity or modify the backup policy as required.
Prerequisites¶
Ransomware backup has been enabled. For details, see Enabling Backup.
Increasing the Backup Capacity¶
Log in to the management console and go to the HSS page.
In the navigation pane, choose Prevention > Ransomware Prevention. The protected server list is displayed. Click Add Capacity in the Operation column of the target server.
In the displayed dialog box, configure the capacity.
If the information is correct, click OK. The payment page is displayed. After the payment is complete, return to the Protected Server tab page to view the storage capacity of the target server.
If the payment is not complete, the Vault Status of the target server is Locked. After the payment, the status becomes normal.
Modifying a Backup Policy¶
Log in to the management console and go to the HSS page.
In the navigation pane, choose Prevention > Ransomware Prevention. The protected server list is displayed. Click the policy name in the Backup Policy Status column of the target server.
