1.2.20.5 Volume Backups

A volume backup is a backup of an Exascale volume snapshot, which provides a consistent point-in-time copy of the volume.

Volume backups are stored in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) object storage. To use volume backups you must have access to OCI Object Storage Service, and then specify the service details as attributes of the Exascale cluster.

You can restore a volume backup into a new volume. When you restore a volume backup, the restored volume is separate from the volume backup and the original backup source volume. There is no on-going association between a restored volume and the volume backup or the original backup source volume.
