Undeniably, data is the core of digital operations, and data security determines the survival of enterprises. If a data center fails, enterprises may face irreversible damages. Enterprises are in urgent need to strengthen data protection.
Vigorously Develop Disaster Recovery Infrastructure to Protect Data Security. As a leader in the cloud disaster recovery industry, Alibaba Cloud continues to invest in and develop innovative disaster recovery products. Disaster recovery is the most fundamental technological requirement in the digital economy era, and the cloud is making disaster recovery easier.

Scenarios
Integrated Data Protection
Solution
HBR OSS/NAS agentless backup will not require ECS resources for agent installation, while all backup processes are done by HBR Cluster. Customers just need to choose the OSS buckets or NAS file systems to backed-up and config the backup policies on HBR console, to have an unified management for OSS and NAS data protection.
Benefits
Data Protection
Core data can be efficiently backed up to the backup vault through a private network.
ECS Cross Region DR
Solution
HBR replicates ECS applications cross AZ or region by CDP technology, to achieve high-performance application-level disaster recovery with secs RPO and mins RTO. With orchestration capabilities, it can be used in complex scenarios which requires co-work and pre-config of multi-instances.
Benefits
Ensure the business continuity on ECS. When the production site hits any errors, customer's business could be recovered in DR site in time.
VMware Backup and Disaster Recovery
Solution
Provides high-performance proxy-free backup for VMware virtual machines. You can perform a full backup for a virtual machine without the need to install an agent on the virtual machine. Backups can be used to restore virtual machines and ECS instances. This implements cost-effective business-level disaster recovery and ensures that you can perform a quick restoration without affecting data sources.
Cloud Backup / Archive of On-premises Data
Solution
You can use HBR to backup your hot data or archive your cold data from on-premises to cloud. HBR protects data stored in on-premises data centers, including large scale NAS systems, files such as office documents, design drafts, video or audio files, and medical photographs, VMware virtual machines, MySQL / SQL Server / Oracle databases, and other sources. You can easily restore or fetch data from vaults when original data is lost due to virus infection, accidental deletion, or accidental modification. You can also perform disaster recovery rehearsals and data analysis by using the console.
Benefits
Data protection or archival with lower TCO
Solution Architecture
Cloud Backup and Recovery
This simple architecture creates a backup of your existing architecture on the cloud using Alibaba Cloud OSS. Transferring data to and from Alibaba Cloud OSS typically occurs through the network, and is, therefore, accessible from any location. The backup and recovery scenario on the public cloud is achievable via a storage gateway installed on a user’s on-premise virtual machine and is responsible for configuring the connection to Alibaba Cloud OSS buckets. Storage gateway is installed in a datacenter and is connected to OSS directly. The storage gateway supports industry standard protocols such as NFS and iSCSI to provide a seamless, low-latency, and secure connection between your on-premise environment and Alibaba Cloud OSS.
Highlights
- Enhanced security and compliance
- Business continuity and disaster recovery
- Accessible from any location
Cloud Disaster Recovery
Embedded in this architecture is the production site and a common disaster recovery (DR) scenario called 'warm standby' or 'Cloud DR Site', which are connected via a Virtual Private Network (VPN). The warm standby is a scaled-down version of a fully functional environment that is always running in the cloud as a mirror environment and minimizes recovery time. The servers in warm standby run on a minimum-sized cluster of Alibaba Cloud ECS instances, and the DR environment is completely functional. In case of production system failure, the architecture scales up the standby environment for production load, and the DNS records change to route all traffic to Alibaba Cloud.
Highlights
- Business continuity
- Disaster recovery site
- Auto Scaling as per requirements
