Add a Cloud Account

Add a cloud account to copy Files or recovery points to a cloud storage. You can use related accounts while creating tasks or one or more plans on Copy Recovery Point / File Copy /File Archive /Virtual Standby to Cloud / Instant Virtual Machine on Amazon EC2. Provide a unique storage name and select required storage service from the multiple options displayed in the drop-down list.

Note: If you have configured File Copy and File Archive in versions Arcserve UDP v6.0 or previous versions and now you upgrade to the latest version of Arcserve UDP, then for File Archive Arcserve UDP creates a new cloud bucket suffixed with -fa. File Copy uses the same bucket that was used in the previous version.

The configuration options for each cloud vendor are similar (with some different terminology), and any differences are described. Add a cloud account of your choice.
