Remote Backup describes the layout of the Remote Backup menu what to check before creating a remote backup task, and how to set up, edit, and delete a remote backup task.

Remote Backup is a redundancy feature that prevents data loss by securely replicating backup data to storage in a separate zone. By using remote backup feature, you can quickly recover original data even if the backup data store fails or data is lost

The Remote Backup page is laid out as follows:

What to check before creating remote backup task

Here's what you need to know before creating a remote backup task, including target of remote backup and how long to keep the data, and pricing for the remote backup task:

Initial remote backup target

You can select all full and incremental backup data which retention period has not expired at the time of setting up the remote backup task as the remote backup target.

Remote backup targets after initial remote backup

All backup data created since the last remote backup task until the next remote backup task is selected as the remote backup target.

Retention period for backup data of remote backup target

Regardless of the retention period, backup data is stored until the remote backup task is completed. However, you cannot use this backup data to recover data after the expiration date, and there will be no charge for it.

Retention periods for remote backup data

Depending on the remote backup cycle, the available retention period varies. The retention period you set is calculated based on when you backed up the target of the remote backup, not when the remote backup task is performed.

The following retention periods are available for each remote backup cycle:

• Daily: minimum of 7 days to maximum of 365 days
• Weekly: minimum of 14 days to maximum of 365 days
• Monthly: minimum of 60 days to maximum of 365 days

Remote backup pricing criteria

You will be charged from the time the remote backup task is performed until the remote backup data retention expiration date.
