Operation Manual

New Backup Task wizard, Step 3 “Where to back up”

The Archive name field shows the name of the archive selected in the Browse pop-up.

The left side of the Browse pop-up shows the list of:

 Online backup storages.

 Recent Locations.

 Local folders.

 Network folders.

 FTP servers.

 SFTP servers.

If your vmProtect 8 Agent has no licenses added, the only possible choice for a backup destination is

Acronis Online Backup Storage.

Choose one of the backup location types from the browse tree on the left side. If the chosen location

requires authentication (Online backup storage, Network folders or FTP/SFTP servers), you will

initially see a dialogue for submitting your credentials in the right pane. After successfully logging in,

this pane shows the contents of the selected location, i.e. the archives inside this location.

Note that Acronis vmProtect 8 Online backup storage might be unavailable in your region. For more

information, visit http://www.acronis.com/my/backup-recovery-online/ .

Note that to successfully backup to an FTP/SFTP server, you need to have the deletion rights assigned

to the respective file and folder on that server.
