# VMware-based Cloud Backup service description

VMware-based Cloud Backup is an additional service for the VMware-based public cloud.

The service allows you to back up and restore virtual machines and entire vApps; it is not suitable for backing up Named Disks.

## Technical description \{#technical-description}

The backup repository is physically located in [Availability Zone 2](/infrastructure/locations.mdx#availability-zone).

Backup files are replicated in three independent copies.

To increase availability, all Veeam Backup & Replication™ (hereinafter VBR) infrastructure elements are duplicated or deployed in fault-tolerant virtualization environments.

The channel speed to VBR servers is not limited. Network bandwidth is up to 20 Gbps.

## Payment \{#payment}

The backup service is paid via a pay-as-you-go model. The cost of backup storage for each virtual machine and the cost of the repository space occupied by backups are deducted from the balance every hour. Traffic is not charged.

Money begins to be deducted from the balance after a backup is successfully created. Resource prices can be viewed at [selectel.ru](https://selectel.ru/services/cloud/vmware/vmware-backups/).

## Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager portal \{#veeam-backup-enterprise-manager-portal}

Backup management (creating a backup, changing the backup schedule, or restoring a required VM) is carried out through the Veeam® Backup Enterprise Manager self-service portal. Portal access is enabled automatically when [creating a virtual data center](/public-cloud/manage-public-cloud/create-virtual-data-center/).

### Authorizing on the portal \{#portal-sections}

1. In the [control panel](https://my.selectel.ru/vmware/public/default/backup), in the top menu, click **Products** and select **VMware-based Cloud**.
2. Go to the **Backup** section.
3. Click **Configure backup**. You will be redirected to the backup portal.
4. Authorize with the Cloud Director username and password.
