Access Key ID
Identifies the user who is requesting access to this location.
Secret Access Key

Important! This Secret Access Key is crucial for maintaining the security of your accounts. You should keep your keys and your account credentials in a secure location. Do not embed your Secret Access Key in a web page or other publicly accessible source code and do not transmit it over insecure channels.

Specifies the proxy server settings. Select the check box of Connect using a proxy server if you want to enable this option. If you select this option, you must also include the IP address (or machine name) of the proxy server and the corresponding port number that is used by the proxy server for internet connections. You can also select this option if your proxy server requires authentication. Then, you must provide the corresponding authentication information (Domain Name\Username and Password) that is required to use the proxy server.
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.
