NetBackup™ for OpenStack Administrator's Guide

Ephemeral disk backup

Ephemeral storage is a non-persistent storage form that is associated only to a specific compute instance. An ephemeral disk that is allocated to an instance gets deleted when the instance is terminated. Ephemeral disks are ideally used to store the temporary data.

NetBackup for OpenStack does not protect the ephemeral disk that is allocated to the VM instance.
