CHAPTER 1 Introduction This guide explains how to set up Backup Gateway on Microsoft Azure to store backups in the Azure cloud. Typically, you will only need to create a VM with Acronis Cyber Infrastructure on Azure, specifying the required details like VM user name and password, credentials for a partner account in Acronis Backup Cloud, and such. Once the virtual machine is running, you should be able to store backups in the Azure cloud, without having to log in to Acronis Cyber Infrastructure. 1.
Chapter 1. Introduction • Use a separate object container for each Backup Gateway cluster.
CHAPTER 2 Creating an Acronis Cyber Infrastructure Virtual Machine First, you need to create a VM with Acronis Cyber Infrastructure. Do the following: 1. On the Dashboard, click Create a resource. 2. On the Home > New pane, find and click Backup Gateway in the Azure Marketplace. 3. On the Home > New > Backup Gateway pane, click Create.
Chapter 2. Creating an Acronis Cyber Infrastructure Virtual Machine The VM creation wizard will open. 4. On wizard’s Basics pane, specify a user name and password for VM’s admin account, set the public access policies, specify a password for the Acronis Cyber Infrastructure web panel, choose a subscription type, resource group, and location. Click OK.
Chapter 2. Creating an Acronis Cyber Infrastructure Virtual Machine 5. On wizard’s Gateway settings pane: • In Virtual machine size, the recommended VM size, A2, should be selected by default. • In Storage account, give a name to the account; select Storage (general purpose v1), then Cool and Locally-redundant storage (LRS). • In Storage account container, specify a name. • In Public IP address, select Static in Assignment.
Chapter 2. Creating an Acronis Cyber Infrastructure Virtual Machine • In DNS prefix, specify a DNS prefix for your Backup Gateway, e.g., abgw1. The Backup Gateway will be registered in Acronis Backup Cloud under the static public IP address and DNS name. Note: The public IP address and DNS name cannot be changed later. Having set the required options, click OK. 6. On wizard’s Acronis Backup Cloud settings pane, provide the credentials of your partner account in Acronis Backup Cloud.
Chapter 2. Creating an Acronis Cyber Infrastructure Virtual Machine 7. On wizard’s Summary pane, make sure all the options are set correctly, wait until validation passes, and click OK.
Chapter 2. Creating an Acronis Cyber Infrastructure Virtual Machine 8. On wizard’s Create pane, read the terms of use and privacy policy and click Create. After the VM is running, log in to the Acronis Cyber Cloud admin panel and check that the new Acronis Cyber Infrastructure is shown in the Storages section (for more details, see the Acronis Cyber Cloud documentation. Finally, perform a test backup to the Azure cloud to make sure that everything is working correctly.
CHAPTER 3 Performing Additional Tasks Normally, you only need to create and run a VM with Acronis Cyber Infrastructure on Azure to be able to store backups in the Azure cloud. Logging in to Acronis Cyber Infrastructure itself is not required. If, however, you need to perform some additional tasks that require you to log in to Acronis Cyber Infrastructure, you can access your Azure VM using the domain name and user credentials specified during VM deployment. You will also need to open a port to the VM.
