A cloud connection is a user-defined configuration that contains the information that Arcserve Backup uses to communicate with the specified cloud vendor. Cloud connections let you access cloud storage services through applications that are on the current server. The cloud connection helps ensure that your backup data is stored under the account that you created with the cloud vendor.
For example, in Arcserve Backup you would only specify the cloud connection name when creating one cloud-based device. By providing this information, all cloud related items are transparent for Arcserve Backup users.
Note: To eliminate potential clock skew errors when connecting to the cloud, verify that your computer has the correct time zone specified, and the clock is synchronized with the global time. As a best practice, you should always check the time of your computer against the GMT time. If the time of your computer is not synchronized with the global clock time (within 5 to 10 minutes), cloud connection will not work. If necessary, reset the correct time for your computer and then resubmit the archive job.
