You can archive and analyze files on on-premises NAS file systems, Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS) file systems, and S3-Compatible Storage buckets in the Cloud Backup console. This topic describes the data archiving steps.
The following section describes how to archive data in the Cloud Backup console.
You are not charged for activating Cloud Backup. You are charged for the rental and storage usage of archive vaults. For more information, see Billing methods and billable items.
Install the Cloud Backup client
After you install the Cloud Backup client on your on-premises server, you can archive data from the server.
You must add a data source to ensure that Cloud Backup can discover the on-premises NAS file system, HDFS file system, or S3-Compatible Storage bucket whose data you want to archive.
Archive data and Analyze a data source
When you create an archive plan, configure the archive vault, archive rules, archive interval, and archive path. Cloud Backup starts the archive plan and continuously archives data from the specified source. You can use the data analysis feature to obtain the statistics about a data source. Then, you can set archive filters based on the analysis results.
You can search for and retrieve files of a data source or an archive vault.
