9 RESTful API Cloud Service

The RESTful API Cloud service enables an Oracle ZFS Storage Appliance administrator to do the following tasks:

  • Back up ZFS snapshot data from Oracle ZFS Storage Appliance to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Object Storage

  • List the snapshot backups that are available in the cloud

  • Restore snapshot backups to the appliance

  • Delete snapshot backup data when that data is no longer needed

More than one appliance can back up to the same cloud target. A cloud backup can be restored to any appliance that has access to the cloud target.
