Configuring backup locations
You can define and configure access to one or more remote systems to serve as target locations for your backups.
Before you can perform a backup operation, you must define and
configure at least one backup location where your backup data will
be stored. Setting up a storage location includes the following general
tasks:
- Specifying the host, port, and user credentials to access the remote backup system.
- Specifying the directory path on the remote system where backups will be stored.
- Selecting whether or not to enable encryption.
- Specifying certificate and private key settings.
- Verifying the network connection to the remote backup system.
You can configure multiple backup locations as needed. When you later configure a backup profile, you can select one of these defined backup locations as the target where the backup is stored. You can also edit and delete existing backup location configurations.
To access backup and restore functions, you must have all of
the following user roles and permissions:
- Workload resources administration with Manage workload resources (Full permission)
- Cloud group administration with Manage cloud resources (Full permission)
- Hardware administration with Manage hardware resources (Full permission)
- Security administration with Manage security (Full permission)
