CloudBacko Pro allow users to backup important files and folders stored on supported cloud storage services such as Amazon S3, MS Azure, Google Cloud, Backblaze, Wasabi, OneDrive, Google Drive, Dropbox etc. using the Cloud File Backup Set.
Consider the following best practices for optimized performance of the backup operations:
- Schedule backup jobs when system activity is low to achieve the best possible performance.
- Periodically re-authenticate the credentials to the cloud storage services to aviod interuptions to backup jobs due to expired credentials or tokens.
- Temporary directory folder is used by CloudBacko for storing backup set index files and other temporary backup files generated during a backup job. To ensure optimal backup/restoration performance, it is recommended that the temporary directory folder is set to a local drive. The temporary folder should not be located on the system, for example on Windows do not assign temporary folder to the C: drive.
- Perform test restores regularly to ensure your backup is set up and performed properly. Performing recovery test can also help identify potential issues or gaps in your recovery plan. It's important that you do not try to make the test easier, as the objective of a successful test is not to demonstrate that everything is flawless. There might be flaws identified in the plan throughout the test and it is important to identify those flaws.
