How to back up your cloud applications in Compute Engine from IONOS

It couldn’t be easier to back up cloud applications and workloads in Compute Engine:

  1. Create the backup units in the Data Center Designer (DCD) and assign to these any virtual servers that are to be backed up.
  2. After an initial, full backup, only the increments are then backed up.

Even for existing workloads on virtual machines in private or public clouds, a backup agent can be installed retroactively and the backup resumed at a later date. A backup or migration to the IaaS cloud can also be performed from on-premises VMware installations. In principle, any system can be migrated to the cloud using the backup solution.

With the new REST API Version 5, you can control the creation of backup units and deployment of new systems to be included in the backup. You can also use all native APIs from Acronis in addition to the DCD and cloud API.
