Manage external backups

Backups can be saved to external Amazon S3-compliant repositories, if the repository has been registered with the ThinkAgile CP Cloud Controller.

For information about registering the repository, see the following topic:

Registering an external backup repository

Refer to the following topics:

• Enable external backups for an instance
  When you enable external backups for an application instance, ThinkAgile CP copies automatic local backups to the external repository that you specify.
• Disable external backup for an instance
  Disabling external backups does not remove any external backups that have been created previously. After disabling external backups, you can remove them individually or choose to remove all external backups.
• Restore an instance from an external backup
  To restore an instance from an external backup, create a new instance from the external backup. The state of the new instance is the same state of the original instance when the external backup was taken.
• Delete an external backup for an instance
  You can delete an external backup for an application instance.
• Delete all external backups for an instance
  You can delete all external backups for an application instance.
