Your block volumes โ backed up, encrypted, and ready to restore โ without ever leaving Pakistan.
QCloud Volume Backup Service (VBS) is a Commvault-powered, policy-driven backup layer for every EVS volume in your fleet. Forever-incremental backups, immutable storage, point-in-time restore in minutes โ all hosted inside KHI-1 and ISB-1, all billed by the GB-month in PKR.

Four promises behind every backup we keep for you.
User-Friendly Configuration
Configure a backup policy in three clicks. Attach it to one volume or one thousand. Schedule by hour, day, or weekly RPO. Expand backup storage on the fly โ no agents to install, no scripts to maintain, no command-line acrobatics.
Agile Backup Policies
Every workload has its own rhythm. Apply a different backup policy per volume โ hourly snapshots for transactional databases, daily fulls for file servers, weekly archives for cold data. Mix forever-incremental, differential, and synthetic full backups in the same policy.
Low Cost, Predictable
Incremental forever after the first full backup means you only pay for what changes โ typically a fraction of the source volume size. Billed by the GB-month in PKR. No egress, no FX surprises, no per-restore charges.
Safe & Secure
Backups are encrypted at rest with AES-256 using HSM-backed keys. Immutable retention locks protect against ransomware and accidental deletion. Replicated to a second region inside Pakistan for 99.999% durability.
Efficient. Automated. Two-step restore.
Three native VBS capabilities โ built in, billed by the GB-month, no extra licensing.
Efficient
Forever-Incremental + Synthetic Full
Permanent incremental backup and restoration significantly reduces the space occupied by backup files and reduces RTO to minutes. A synthetic full is reconstructed from existing increments โ without touching your production volume.
Automatic
Policy-Driven Backups
Define a backup policy once and attach it to one or many EVS volumes. The policy handles schedule, retention, target region, encryption, and immutability. Drift-free, set-and-forget.
Simple Restore
Two-Step Recovery
Pick a recovery point. Click restore. VBS reconstructs the volume from increments and attaches it to a new or existing ECS instance โ typically in 2โ6 minutes for a hot tier.
Six stages. One continuous loop. Zero data loss.

Restore to any moment in the last 30 days.
Forever-incremental backups give you fine-grained recovery points โ every 15 minutes for transactional workloads, every hour for general workloads, every day for cold data.
Build a policy. Apply it to a thousand volumes.
Define the schedule, the retention, the encryption, the target region โ and VBS does the rest. Below is a live mock of the policy builder you'll use in the QCloud console.

Six recurring patterns we see across Pakistani enterprise customers.
The day a server dies โ the choice you wish you'd made.
Backup is the work nobody loves until something breaks. Here's what VBS handles that DIY scripting and "we have a tape rotation" doesn't.
Most teams ship VBS to production in 3 working days.
Talk to migration team โPay only for what you protect. No FX. No per-restore fees.
Three retention tiers. Same forever-incremental engine. Same in-country durability. Pick one, change it later.

Backups encrypted before they leave the disk โ and kept inside Pakistan.
VBS implements four layers of protection โ each layer engineered for the regulators Pakistani enterprises actually answer to.
