Getting started with Yandex Cloud Backup

Cloud Backup is a service for creating backups and restoring Yandex Cloud resources and their data.

You can connect to Cloud Backup either a new Yandex Compute Cloud VM as soon as its is created or an existing VM with active and configured apps, resources, data, etc.

For Cloud Backup to be able to back up and restore a VM, the VM must be associated with a backup policy.

For more information on the minimum required VM characteristics and supported operating systems, see Connecting Compute Cloud VMs and Yandex BareMetal servers to Cloud Backup.

Depending on what you need, you can:

• Start using Cloud Backup on a newly created VM
• Start using Cloud Backup on an existing VM
