Service Description VMware-based cloud backup service

VMware-based cloud backup is an additional service to VMware-based public cloud.

The service allows you to backup and restore virtual machines and entire vApps, it is not suitable for Named Disks backups.

Technical Description

The backup repository is physically located in the Accessibility Zone 2.

Backup files are replicated in three independent copies.

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

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

Payment

The backup service is paid on a pay-as-you-go model. Every hour the cost of backup storage for each virtual machine and the cost of space in the repository that backups occupy are deducted from the balance. Traffic is not charged.

Money starts to be deducted from your balance after a successful backup. Prices for resources can be viewed at selectel.ru.

Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager portal

Backup management (creating a backup, changing the backup schedule or restoring the required VM) is performed through the Veeam® Backup Enterprise Manager self-service portal. Access to the portal is automatically connected when creating a virtual data center.
