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.
