Backups

The Backups area manages system disaster recovery images and system state redundancy profiles.

A. Generating Infrastructure Backups

1. Click Create and select Create Backup.
2. Target Selection: Choose the specific Virtual Machine from the drop-down active inventory checklist.
3. Backup Mode Type: Select between generating a Full comprehensive system image, an Incremental changes-only record, or a Differential tracking backup.
4. Choose the target destination Storage Pool to hold the copy.
5. Select optional compression utilities (such as gzip or xz), enable encryption keys for protected storage requirements, decide whether to capture active runtime memory, and set a Retention Days timeline policy before automatic cleanup.

B. Alternative Backup Management Options

• Upload: Drag-and-drop or select locally generated historical VM backup recovery files to push them directly onto the server nodes.
• Register from Server: Link existing external backup indices directly into the Vapor Enterprise management panel by specifying server file directory paths and matching target VM UUID references.
