Provisioning backup storage space

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

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

Limitations

• To be able to register Backup Gateway in Acronis Cyber Backup Cloud, two-factor authentication (2FA) should be disabled for your partner account.

Prerequisites

• A clear understanding of backup storage, which is explained in About backup storage.
• Your hardware meets the requirements listed in Requirements for backup storage.
• 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.
• The destination storage has enough space for both existing and new backups.
• A partner account exist 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.
