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 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 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.
Migration from Acronis Storage versions 1.5-1.7 is no longer supported. Use Acronis Cyber Infrastructure 4.0 to migrate backups, and then upgrade to the latest version. For details, refer to Migrating backups from older Acronis solutions.

Prerequisites

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.
