Security and Reporting – role-based access controls give administrators greater control over security and an advanced reporting system to evaluate the size and time of backup/restore operations.
Available Backup Strategies for Scale Computing
- All the operations are using REST API to communicate with the HC3 cluster.
- Export Storage Domain Strategy – Export storage domain strategy performs the export using a Samba server running on a node machine. This strategy does not require a proxy VM.
- Disk Attachment Strategy – Disk attachment strategy performs the export using a proxy VM running on the HC3 cluster.
