How to back up your cloud applications in the IONOS Cloud
It couldn’t be easier to back up cloud applications and workloads in IONOS Cloud:
Create backup units in our Data Center Designer (DCD) and assign any virtual servers to be backed up.
After the first, full backup, only incremental backups are taken.
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-premise 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.
Acronis as a strong backup solution partner
IONOS Cloud offers this backup solution in partnership with backup pioneer and market leader, Acronis. A theoretically unlimited volume of data can be stored in fully-certified ISO 27001 data centers. Data cables with capacities of up to 10 GBit/s ensure seamless data throughput, even for full backups.
