Local Backup Server
On the main menu of ZStack Cloud, choose . On the Local Backup Server page, click Add Local Backup Server. Then, the Add Local Backup Server page is displayed.
You can add a local backup server by using one of the following methods:
- Use an existing backup storage.
- Add a new server.
Use an Existing Backup Storage
On the displayed page, set the following parameters:
- Zone: By default, the current zone is displayed.
- Addition Method: Select Existing Backup Storage.
- Backup Storage: Add a backup storage. Only ImageStore backup storages are supported.
Note: Make sure that the backup storage uses an operating system consistent with that of the management node. - Backup Network: Enter the backup network CIDR.Note:
- If you deployed a network dedicated to local backup, you can add the network to the Cloud directly.
- In local backup scenarios, local VM instances, volumes, or databases are backed up to local backup servers by using the backup network. Local backup data is restored to the local environment by using the management network.
- Using a dedicated network can avoid network congestions and improve the transmission efficiency.
- Backup Data: Optional. Choose whether to scan the existing backup data.Note: Deleted backup data cannot be restored by this operation.
Add a New Server

- Description: Optional. Enter a description for the local backup server.
- Backup Server IP: Enter the IP address of the local backup server.Note:
- You need to prepare a new storage server in the local data center as a local backup server.
- Make sure that the backup server uses an operating system consistent with that of the management node.
- Mount Path: Enter the path to which the storage is mounted, for example, /mnt/xxx_ds.
- SSH Port: Enter the SSH port. Default: 22.
- User Name: Enter the user name. Default: root.
- Password: Enter the password.

| Reconnect Local Backup Server | Reconnecting a local backup server will update the records of the backup data on the local backup server. |
| Scan Backup Data | Scan the existing backup data in the local backup server and display the backup data records on the Cloud platform.Note: Deleted backup data cannot be restored by the scan action. |
| Cleanup Data | Clean up the invalid backup data and expired temporary data that have been completely deleted from the local backup server to free up the storage space. |
| Update Password | Change the password of a local backup server. |
| Delete Local Backup Server | Delete a local backup server.Note: Deleting a local backup server will stop the backup jobs and CDP tasks on the server. Please exercise caution. |
