How does Tencent Cloud's high-defense cloud host security solution handle data backup and recovery?

Tencent Cloud's high-defense cloud host security solution integrates robust data backup and recovery mechanisms to ensure business continuity and data integrity. It employs automated, incremental, and full backups to safeguard critical data against accidental deletion, corruption, or cyberattacks like ransomware.

How it works:

1. Automated Backups: The solution schedules regular backups (daily/weekly) based on user-defined policies, storing snapshots in Tencent Cloud's highly durable storage systems.
2. Incremental & Full Backups: To optimize storage and speed, it uses incremental backups (saving only changed data) alongside periodic full backups for complete recovery points.
3. Disaster Recovery (DR): In case of host failure or data loss, users can quickly restore data from backups to a new or existing cloud host, minimizing downtime.

Example Scenario:
A financial services company using Tencent Cloud's high-defense hosts experiences a malware attack. The solution's backups allow the company to restore its database to a pre-attack state within minutes, ensuring uninterrupted operations.

For enhanced protection, Tencent Cloud offers Cloud Block Storage (CBS) for reliable block-level backups and Cloud Object Storage (COS) for long-term archival, both integrated with the high-defense host solution.
