Summary
IBM Cloud Backup for VPC is an enterprise-level backup solution that automates creation and retention of your VPC block storage volumes. This service lets you set a scheduled backup of your block storage volumes and snapshots created from those volumes.
When a backup is triggered, it creates a new snapshot of the volume contents. A snapshot is a point-in-time copy of your block storage volume. The entire contents of the volume are copied and retained. Subsequent snapshots will capture the incremental changes from the previous snapshots.
Pricing
You will be charged for the storage capacity used for each of your backups. To estimate pricing while you create a backup policy, use the "Add to estimate" button on the Create tab. For more information, see the Backup service documentation.
Features
Scheduling
Create scheduled backups in a backup plan.
CRON support
Define daily, weekly, monthly or cron-based backup schedules per plan. Edit the plans at any time.
Retention policies
Assign retention policies for the backups by age (in days or by count).
Tagging
Create tags for target resources in the backup policy and apply them to your block storage volumes for automated backup. Optionally, specify tags that are already applied to your volumes.
Restore
Restore from a snapshot to create a block storage volume anywhere in the zone and within the region.
