Hot swapping: replacing a disk without shutting down the system

Hot swapping is replacing a deficient drive, or one that needs to be removed from the server, without service interruption. Essential in a high-availability architecture. Available on our FS-48T, FS-72T and FS-MAX servers.

Interoperability

Along with its high storage capacity, the Storage range uses the OVHcloud private network (vRack) by default. With vRack, you can connect your OVHcloud products (dedicated servers, VPS, Public Cloud Instances) in a secure network, regardless of which OVHcloud data centers they are hosted in.

Your questions answered

📝 When can I order the options offered?

The options are available at the server configuration step. You can also order and enable options directly via the OVHcloud Control Panel, after your service has been delivered.

🦾 What are the advantages of the vRack private network?

The vRack is a physical private network that is isolated from the internet. This means you can create your own cluster, or connect your server to an existing infrastructure. And you can do all of this at no extra cost.

Through the vRack private network, you can secure the exchanges between your web server and your database. To do this, you must disable the public IP address of the dedicated server you want to protect.

Available with the Advance, Storage and HG Premium Customizable server ranges.

Backup methods

Data backup

This involves creating a copy of the data you want to save in a place other than the one where it is stored. Sometimes data is stored in an independent folder, but located on the same disk. The backup must be taken on a space independent of the original storage area for this data. This way, it will be protected from any incidents that may lead to loss or corruption.

Differential backup

Based on a full backup of the data, a differential backup creates a backup containing the information that was created or modified after the full backup. Each differential backup compiles the changes built into the previous version, while adding the new ones. This uses more storage space than an incremental backup, but requires less processing time if the archived files need to be completely restored.

Incremental backup

Incremental backups are very useful if you want to save space, and start at D+1 of a full backup of the data (i.e. day D). During each backup, the data that has undergone changes, as well as the new data, is incremented with respect to day D-1. However, a full backup will require a longer recovery time compared to the differential backup, as each backup that has been incremented must be copied to a disk.
