Managing storage

Adding new storages

• Cyber Protection service:

  • By default, the backup storages are located in data centers.

  • If the Partner-owned backup storage offering item is enabled for a partner tenant by an upper-level administrator, the partner administrators can organize the storage in the partner's own data center, by using the Cyber Infrastructure software. Click Add backup storage on the Locations section to find information about organizing a backup storage in your own data center.

  • If the Partner-owned disaster recovery infrastructure offering item is enabled for a partner tenant by an upper-level administrator, the partner administrators can organize a disaster recovery infrastructure in the partner's own data center. For information about adding a disaster recovery infrastructure, contact the technical support.

  Backup validation is not possible with public cloud object storages, such as Amazon S3, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud Storage, and Wasabi, used by the data centers.
  Backup validation is possible with public cloud object storages used by partners. However, enabling it is not recommended because the validation operations increase the egress traffic from these public object storages and may lead to significant expenses.
• For information about adding storages that will be used by other services, contact the technical support.

Deleting storages

You can delete storages that were added by you or your child tenants.

3. Click Settings > Locations.
4. Select the storage that you want to delete.
