Inspur InCloud Sphere is a next-generation cloud computing platform designed to help enterprises build efficient, scalable, and high-performance private and edge clouds. By integrating advanced virtualization, storage, and networking technologies, it optimizes resource management and enhances business continuity. However, as enterprises migrate critical workloads to the cloud, ensuring data security and reliability becomes paramount. This makes backup and disaster recovery essential components of a robust cloud strategy, safeguarding business operations against unexpected failures.
Inspur InCloud Sphere is a lightweight and efficient cloud computing infrastructure platform that combines advanced virtualization features with comprehensive cloud capabilities. It empowers customers to build low-latency, high-performance, easy-to-maintain, and highly reliable edge clouds and private clouds.
It integrates storage, networking, and other peripherals to deliver high availability, scalability, and security than standalone physical hardware. It provides foundational technologies and capabilities for migrating enterprise core services to the cloud and constructing enterprise cloud data centers.
InCloud Sphere abstracts physical server resources into logical resources, breaking physical limitations and transforming hardware components—such as CPUs, memory, disks, and I/O—into dynamically manageable "resource pools." This enhances resource utilization, simplifies system management, enables server consolidation, and improves IT adaptability to business changes. Inspur Cloud adopts an "All in One" deployment model, co-locating InCloud Sphere management nodes and compute nodes on a single physical server. This eliminates the need for dedicated management node hardware, maximizing customer resource efficiency.

Vinchin Backup & Recovery provides an efficient and flexible data protection solution for Inspur InCloud Sphere virtual machines, streamlining operations through automated backup strategies and intelligent recovery capabilities. The system supports incremental backups, LAN-Free transfer, compression, and deduplication to optimize storage and network efficiency. Users can customize daily, weekly, or monthly task schedules, with real-time monitoring and automatic alerts for anomalies, minimizing manual intervention.
For data recovery, it enables full VM restoration, granular file extraction for quick access to individual files, or instant VM recovery within seconds to address emergencies. The integrated DR Lab automatically verifies backup data integrity and serves as an optional recovery target to ensure reliability during critical moments.
The solution also supports cross-platform migration, allowing VMs to be restored to different cluster hosts or heterogeneous virtualization environments (V2V), meeting multi-cloud architecture needs. For cloud service providers, the multi-tenant mode ensures backup isolation between tenants and deep integration with the InCloud Sphere platform for unified management. The web-based centralized console offers an intuitive interface to reduce management complexity, while the cost-effective solution maintains scalability to adapt to evolving data protection requirements across different business stages, forming a complete cycle from daily backups to emergency recovery.
It only takes 4 steps for you to backup InCloud Sphere VMs:
1. Select the backup object.
2. Select backup destination.
3. Configure backup strategies.
4. Review and submit the job.
