.. _Setting Up Acronis Backup Gateway:

Setting Up Acronis Backup Gateway
---------------------------------

To store Acronis Backup Cloud data in Acronis Storage, configure Acronis Backup Gateway on one of the following back-ends:

- ABGW cluster on top of the Acronis Storage cluster or
- ABGW access point for an NFS share mounted on a node in parallel with the Acronis Storage cluster.

The following sections describe configuration steps for both.

The complete instructions on how to set up ABGW are provided in the *Acronis Storage Administrator's Guide*.

.. _Configuring Acronis Backup Gateway Clusters:

Configuring Acronis Backup Gateway Clusters
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

To set up an Acronis Backup Gateway cluster on top of an Acronis Storage cluster, do the following:

#. On the **SERVICES** > **Acronis Backup Nodes** screen, select nodes, click **Create Gateway** and **This Acronis Storage cluster**.

#. On the **Configure network** panel, configure network for each node:

   #. Click the cogwheel icon next to a network interface.

         :align: center
         :class: align-center

   #. On the **Network Configuration** screen, select a network interface, click **Choose roles**, and check **ABGW private** and **ABGW public** roles.

         :class: align-center

   #. Click **DONE** and **X** and repeat the above steps for each node.

#. Back on the **Configure Network** panel, make sure the network interfaces with assigned ABGW roles are selected for each node and click **Proceed**.

#. Select a **Tier**, a **Failure domain**, choose a **Data redundancy** mode, and click **Proceed**.

   .. note:: Redundancy by replication is not supported for Acronis Backup Gateway.

#. Specify the external DNS name for this gateway, e.g, ``backupgateway.example.com``. Make sure that the required port is open for outgoing Internet connections and incoming connections from Acronis Backup Cloud on each node running the gateway service.

    .. important:: Configure your DNS server according to the example suggested in the management panel.

#. Click **Proceed**, specify Acronis Backup Cloud credentials, and click **Done**.

.. _Connecting External NFS Shares through Acronis Backup Gateway:

Connecting External NFS Shares through Acronis Backup Gateway
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

.. note:: In the current version of Acronis Storage, only one cluster node may store backups of an NFS volume.

To set up an external NFS share on a cluster node through Acronis Backup Gateway, do the following:

#. On the **SERVICES** > **Acronis Backup Nodes** screen, select a node, click **Create Gateway** and **Network File System**.

#. On the **Configure network** panel, configure a network interface:

   #. Click the cogwheel icon next to the network interface.

      .. image:: ../../../images/stor_image54_2_1.png
         :align: center
         :class: align-center

   #. On the **Network Configuration** screen, select a network interface, click **Choose roles**, check **ABGW private** and **ABGW public** roles, and click **DONE** and **X**.

      .. image:: ../../../images/stor_image54_3.png
         :align: center
         :class: align-center

#. Back on the **Configure Network** panel, make sure the network interface with the assigned ABGW roles is selected and click **Proceed**.

#. On the **Volume parameters** screen, specify the **NFS hostname or IP** of the NFS share as well as the name of its volume in the **Export name** field.

   .. image:: ../../../images/stor_image56_3.png
      :align: center
      :class: align-center

#. Specify the external DNS name for this gateway, e.g, ``backupgateway.example.com``. Make sure that the required port is open for outgoing Internet connections and incoming connections from Acronis Backup Cloud on each node running the gateway service.

   .. important:: Configure your DNS server according to the example suggested in the management panel.

#. Click **Proceed**, specify Acronis Backup Cloud credentials, and click **Done**.
