   Tip

   In CloudCasa, there are two data protection methods:

   CloudCasa Backups

   Store your backup in the CloudCasa Storage.

   CloudCasa Snapshots

   Store your snapshot in your own public cloud storage: Amazon S3, third-party storage which has a compatible interface with Amazon S3, and Microsoft Azure Blob storage.

   

6. If you enabled App Hooks in the previous step, select the pre-backup App Hooks, post-backup App Hooks, or both. Click Next.
