PPEM supports creating backups for instances. You can use a backup to create a new instance if the previous instance fails. To work with backups, first install and configure backup and restore tools.
Before creating backups, you must create storages where they will be located. You can create local and S3 storages.
Local storages are intended for introductory use with PPEM. For production environments with a large number of instances and created backups, it is recommended to use S3 storages.
When creating a storage, you must bind an instance to it. When an instance is bound to a storage, the backup catalog for this instance is created in the storage.
You cannot bind an instance to the same storage twice. If an instance is bound for the second time, it is unbound from the previous storage.
You can manage instance binds separately.
Backup schedules can be created for automatically creating a backup at the specified interval. Backup schedules also allow for creating a backup at the specified date and time.
A dashboard provides an overview of backups, instances, storages, and backup tasks.
