6.2. Configuring Acronis Cyber Backup Cloud¶

1. Log in to the Acronis Cyber Cloud management console. Then, navigate to Settings > Locations. Make sure that the system created a new backup destination with the corresponding name derived from the DNS name. Set up the backup agents, as described in the Acronis Backup User Guide.
2. Create a new customer and assign the new backup destination within the Acronis Cyber Cloud. To do that, click New in the upper-right corner and select Customer. Specify the customer name, mode and language. Next, select services that you would like to provide to the new customer, for example, Acronis Cyber Backup Cloud. Then, specify the customer’s devices and workloads, such as servers and workstations. In the section Location, click the current location name to display all the available options. Select the required storage. Fill out the other fields, such as customer’s email, language, first and last names, and then click Done to complete the whole process.
3. To confirm your account, check your email and follow the steps in the activation request.
4. After creating a customer, log in to Acronis Cyber Cloud as the administrator and open the Clients screen. Click the created customer to open their Overview screen. Click Manage service to open the customer’s Cyber Backup Management Console.
5. On the Devices screen, click Add on the toolbar. Select the device you want to add. For our evaluation scenario, select a workstation with the operating system currently in use. The backup agent installer will be downloaded.
6. In the backup agent installer, click Install. On the Almost done… screen, click Register the machine. Next, enter the device registration info and confirm it. Make sure you are using the customer’s account you’ve created: check the user in the upper-right corner. When the registration is completed, the added device will be displayed on the Devices > All devices screen of the customer’s Backup Management Console.
7. To create a backup from the customer’s machine, click the device and select Backup in the right menu. Click Add backup plan and specify its details. For our evaluation scenario, select Files/folders in What to back up. Then, select the items to back up, a destination cloud storage, and set None in Schedule. Click Create and the backup plan will be listed on the left. Click Run now to start the backup process.
8. When the process is completed, you can view the backed-up files on the Backups > Locations screen. Click the required customer to see the files you uploaded earlier. Double-click the backup name to display its details on the right. You can click Recover files/folders to navigate to the uploaded files and download them if necessary.
