  • Manual Backup
    Manual Backup
    You can manually back up the disk data at specified points of time on the console or via API when needed.
    Manual backup on the console or via API as required
  • Backup Restoration
    Backup Restoration
    You can restore your disk data to the desired backup time or batch create new data disks from backups to implement rapid deployment.
