6.3. Creating a Backup Gateway

  1. In the Acronis Cyber Infrastructure admin panel, navigate to Storage Services, and then to Backup Storage. Here, you can see all of the nodes in the storage cluster that can be used as backup destinations. Select all of the nodes, and then click Create gateway. In the right panel, click This cluster.

  2. Make sure the correct network interface is selected in the drop-down list. Click NEXT.

    If necessary, click the cogwheel icon and configure node’s network interfaces on the Network Configuration screen.

  3. Select the Encoding 3+2 redundancy mode.

  4. Specify a DNS name that will be associated with the selected cluster and used to register that cluster within Acronis Cyber Backup (like backup.example.com). The new DNS name is associated with each node’s IP address in the selected cluster. A specific node for backup operations is selected automatically by the backup agent. Click Next.

  5. To register this storage in backup software, specify the URL with the IP address or hostname of the machine used to access the Acronis Cyber Backup console (example: http://192.168.128.212:9877). If you use https, make sure the SSL certificate is trusted. Provide the credentials of the local management server administrator (e.g. “root”). Click Next.

  6. Finally, click DONE.
