Backup is the basis of DISASTER recovery. To ensure reliability and availability of backup data, backup data is stored and archived independently of production data in another Dr Cluster. Distributed storage provides the remote backup function of storage volumes to solve the problem of asynchronous backup between two clusters.
It is time for iteration release of UMStor. In this update, UMStor2.2 introduces the functions of remote volume backup, object-based storage metadata search, and automatic volume snapshot, meeting diversified requirements of synchronous volume backup between clusters, rapid object-based storage data search, and automatic periodic snapshot of block storage volumes.
Remote backup of storage volumes
The new remote volume backup function of UMStor helps users mirror block storage resource pools between two clusters and migrate volume data in real time. Storage volume backup adopts the mechanism of asynchronous mirroring between two clusters. A storage volume backup service is used to achieve crash-consistent mirror replication between clusters. The remote backup function of a storage volume can effectively reduce the complexity of configuring a Dr Cluster. You can set the mirroring relationship between two clusters on the web client.
Object storage metadata search
ElasticSearch is the mainstream open source metadata search tool on the market. You can use the metadata search function to efficiently search for object storage files and logs. UMStor adds service integration Settings to the global Settings. By configuring the URL address, number of fragments, and number of copies of the external metadata service, UMStor integrates with the external metadata service to help quickly locate and query object storage files.
Automatic snapshot of a storage volume
Block storage volumes This release supports the automatic snapshot function of storage volumes. You can set automatic snapshot for a storage volume. You can control the snapshot period and snapshot retention rules by setting flexible conditions, ensuring security and saving space.
Select a snapshot from the snapshot list and restore the storage volume to a new storage volume. When a storage volume becomes unavailable due to an unexpected power failure of the data center or abnormal data in the storage volume, you can restore the storage volume using the backup snapshot.
As one of the core products of Youyun Digital Intelligence, UMStor won the “2017-2018 Trusted Cloud Technology Innovation Award” (object storage category) in the trusted Cloud Conference just concluded. In the future, UMStor will continue to update its products regularly. With the continuous improvement of UMStor, UMStor will also provide more comprehensive and high-quality storage services for more customers.
