Backup Manager options - What's the difference?

[Andrew Pratt]

So in our cloud instance, there are two backup options as shown below.  What's the difference between "Create backup for cloud" and "Create backup for server"?

Hello Andrew,

The second option - "Create backup for server" is used if you want to migrate your data from Cloud to a server instance. There are some differences between Cloud and server applications, that's why we have this option, for compatibility purposes.

Normally, if you just want to do a normal backup from your instance - or if you want to migrate to another Cloud instance - you select the "Create backup for cloud" option.

Thanks Luiz.

That's the information I was looking for.
