Managing Container Backups

The backups of all the Containers of a Virtuozzo Group or a Hardware Node are listed and can be managed on the Backups tab of the Virtuozzo Group or Hardware Node, correspondingly.

The backups of a single Container are listed and can be managed on the Backups tab of the corresponding Container.

There are two ways to back up one or more Containers in your datacenter:

1. Manually. This can be done by selecting the relevant Containers on the Container list in either the Virtuozzo Group or Hardware Node context and clicking Back Up.
2. As a scheduled job.

When creating a backup of one or a multitude of Containers, a number of backup settings can be specified during the backup operation. If they are not specified for the given backup operation, the default backup settings of the Hardware Node where each corresponding Container is located are used. The default backup settings of a Hardware Node can in their turn use the default Container backups settings defined for the whole datacenter. This means that you can define the backup settings on different levels:

1. Globally for your datacenter. Select Setup --> Backups on the left Infrastructure Manager menu to define these settings.
2. Individually for each Hardware Node. Select the Hardware Node, then click Configure --> Container Backup Settings on the Infrastructure Manager toolbar to define these settings.
3. During an individual backup operation.

If all the levels are defined for a specific operation, the settings of the lowest level take precedence.
