Provisioning backup storage space

Storage space for backups from the Acronis Cyber suite is provisioned via a Backup Gateway, which connects Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud or Acronis Cyber Protect to a destination storage. The destination storage can be one of the following:

• The local Virtuozzo Hybrid Infrastructure cluster
• An external Network File System (NFS) share
• A public cloud

Limitations

• To be able to register Backup Gateway in Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud, two-factor authentication (2FA) should be disabled for your partner account. You can also disable it for a specific user within a 2FA-enabled tenant, as described in Acronis Cyber Cloud documentation, and specify the user credentials.

Prerequisites

• A clear understanding of backup storage, which is explained in About backup storage.
• Your hardware meets the requirements listed in Backup storage requirements.
• Your infrastructure networks are set up, as described in Setting up networks for backup storage.
• The storage cluster is created by following the instructions in Deploying the storage cluster.
• A partner account exists in Acronis Cyber Cloud.

Provisioning overview

1. Create backup storage on this cluster, an NFS share, or in a public cloud.
2. Configure Acronis Cyber Cloud to use the new backup location.
