Cloudist Cloud Connect - Enable Service

Prerequisites

In order to use Cloudist Cloud Connect, a local installation of Veeam Backup & Replication v9.5.4 (referred to as VBR) or later is required.
A Portal account with the role of “Admin” or higher is also required.

Enabling Service

Log into the Portal and select Cloud Connect on the start page.

 

If the Service is not already enabled, click Enable Cloud Connect service. The Portal will respond with a message if everything was successful.

 

We recommend that you also configure a service account in the Portal in order to authenticate VBR. This way, the Service will not be dependent on a personal account in the Portal. Make sure the account has the role “Admin” or “SuperAdmin”

 

Once the service is enabled, note the Customer Id displayed on the top of the Service page, this is used when configuring the service in Veeam Backup & Replication.


Configure VBR

Make sure a suitable user account is set up. The username can be found in the Portal under Settings/Accounts. It is the information in the column Username that will be used by Veeam.

  • Start VBR Console

  • Navigate to BACKUP INFRASTRUCTURE/Service Providers in the menu on the left hand side of the UI

  • Click Add Provider at the top and use the following information in the guide.
    - DNS name or IP address: cc01.fortlax.se

  • Create a new set of credentials by clicking Add…

     


    - Username must be added in the format of <username>@<Customer Id>

  • After creating a set of credentials, click Apply and review the available cloud repositories. The capacity will initially be configured to 1 TB but when capacity use will reach 90% the limit will be increased by an additional 20%. Finish the guide and Veeam will rescan the Service Provider connection.

After this setup, The Cloudist Cloud Connect service is ready to be used in Veeam. For further information on how to configure jobs, please visit Veeam.
