Geo-redundant storage

Geo-redundant storage ensures data durability by asynchronously copying it to a secondary location that is geographically distant to the primary location. With geo-redundancy, your data is accessible even if the primary location is unavailable.

Enabling and disabling geo-redundant storage

Prerequisites

• Ensure that the geo-redundant storage is available for your cloud infrastructure.
• Only administrators can enable or disable the geo-redundant storage. Ensure you have the administrator rights.

To enable geo-redundant storage for existing tenants

1. In the Management portal, go to Clients.

2. Navigate to the tenant for which you want to enable geo-redundancy.

   For enabling geo-redundancy for multiple tenants, see Enabling services for multiple existing tenants.

3. Click Edit to change the settings.
4. Under Cloud resources, select the Geo-redundancy check box under the required storage name.

5. Click Save.

   Geo-redundancy is enabled for the tenant. Customer administrators can disable the geo-redundancy in the Cyber Protect console.
