3. Performing Additional Tasks¶

Normally, you only need to create and run a VM with Acronis Software-Defined Infrastructure on Azure to be able to store backups in the Azure cloud. Logging in to Acronis Software-Defined Infrastructure itself is not required.

If, however, you need to perform some additional tasks that require you to log in to Acronis Software-Defined Infrastructure, you can access your Azure VM using the domain name and user credentials specified during VM deployment. You will also need to open a port to the VM.

The tasks related to Backup Gateway that you can perform in Acronis Software-Defined Infrastructure are described in the more general Backup Gateway Quick Start Guide:

• Connecting to Public Cloud Storage via Backup Gateway
• Migrating Backups from Older Solutions
• Monitoring Backup Gateway
• Releasing Nodes from Backup Gateway
