When Enable Provider Backup is No, CMP does not run a separate backup engine. It automates scheduled CloudStack volume snapshots on the VM root disk and exposes them in CMP as the VM backup and recovery mechanism — schedule, retain, restore, and bill via the VM Backup package.
VM backup in CMP for CloudStack is orchestrator-integrated — customers schedule, run, and restore backups from the VM in CMP. No backup agents and no separate backup dashboard for the customer.
Virtual machine backup is available for Proxmox VE in CMP. Customers and admins can use Proxmox backups through CMP for VMs on the connected provider.
CMP offers two different backup models. They are easy to confuse because both can involve Veeam — but the customer experience is completely different.
Concept-only answers. Full comparison: Backup and Recovery.
Instances Backup Schedules are CMP policies that automatically create VM backups on a recurring interval. Each run produces a backup object visible under Virtual Machines → Backups (and on the VM Backups tab).
When CloudStack Backup and Recovery (B&R) is configured, CMP uses CloudStack B&R APIs to manage VM backups. The customer schedules, runs, and restores from the VM in CMP — no agents and no manual backup setup on the customer side.

The Backups screen lists VM backup copies created from a backup schedule — either by the timer or by manual trigger (Run now).
CMP uses its own scheduler to run recurring jobs — separate from CloudStack cron or backup-provider schedules. Customers define a schedule policy (frequency, timezone, retention); CMP executes it and stores the results as backups or snapshots.
OpenStack snapshot and backup options for CMP (Cinder volume snapshots, image snapshots, and any backup service your cloud exposes).

Volume Snapshot Schedules are CMP policies that automatically create block storage volume snapshots on a recurring interval. Each run produces a snapshot under Virtual Machines → Snapshots → Volumes Snapshot.
What is under development for an upcoming CMP version versus what remains on the longer roadmap.
This section covers integrating CMP with Veeam Service Provider Console (VSPC) so Stack Console can automate company (customer) account creation, credentials, quotas, and plan changes.
Feature documentation for Veeam Service Provider Console (VSPC) in CMP — how customers consume Veeam plans after Veeam setup is complete.
Requirements before Stack Console can connect CMP to Veeam Service Provider Console (VSPC). Complete the common prerequisites first.
VM Backup packages define how CMP bills customers for virtual machine backups (BACKUP). When a customer creates or retains a VM backup, CMP charges based on the backup size in GB and the per-GB hourly rate configured in this package.
