Manage Backup
Backup is a capture of the entire VM condition that is stored in object storage. Unlike snapshots that only take the contents of the boot disk and are stored in the store in the Awanio cluster, this backup can also be saved to object storage outside the cluster. Backup is available on the VM details page, and can also be accessed from the Backup menu.
