Backing up a Virtual Machine

KS / KS 5000U / KSi 5008U

On EonOne, you can set up regular automatic backup plans to ensure that virtual machine data is al-ways up to date, or perform manual backup of virtual machines.

  • Automatic backup: Back up the disks, configurations, and associated K8S resources of the vir-tual machine including related PVCs and ConfigMaps and store them in a remote S3-compatible object storage to facilitate disaster recovery and data protection.
  • Manual backup: In addition to backing up the entire data of the virtual machine, you can include or exclude specific resources and data.

Procedure

  1. Go to EonOne for KS > Settings > Backup & restore > Backup.
  2. For the resource type, select Virtual machines.
  3. Select a virtual machine to back up.
  4. Click Backup to configure the task name and schedule.
  5. Go to Add a backup page. Specify the following information:
    • Backup name: Specify an identifying name for the task.
    • Backup destination: Choose a location that backup data will be saved to. If needed, you can add a destination by clicking +. For more information, see Adding a Backup Destination.
