Adding a cloud tier through the GUI
|
IMPORTANT: Your cloud storage must be configured prior to completing this procedure. |
The procedures for adding a cloud tier differ slightly based on the cloud storage provider. Review the procedure for your cloud storage provider:
Adding a Microsoft Azure cloud tier
To add a Microsoft Azure cloud storage group, complete the following steps:
- In the navigation menu, click Cloud Tier.
- In the Cloud Provider drop-down, select Azure Blob.
- Provide a container name. This is the name of your existing Azure container.
- Enter your Cloud Connection String.

|
NOTE: The Connection String can be found in your Azure portal under Storage Accounts >Access keys > Connection string. |
- To apply encryption, in the Cloud Tier Encryption section enter the following:
- Passphrase — the passphrase is user-defined and is used to generate a passphrase key that encrypts the file in which the content encryption keys are kept. The passphrase is a human readable key, which can be up to 255 bytes in length. It is mandatory to define a passphrase to enable encryption.

|
NOTE: It is mandatory to define a passphrase to enable encryption. If the passphrase is compromised or lost, the administrator should change it immediately so that the content encryption keys do not become vulnerable. |
- Confirm Passphrase — re-enter the passphrase used above.
- Click Configure. A Cloud Storage Group will be created.
- To enable replication to the cloud, you must link a local container to the cloud using the procedures in Adding a Cloud Tiering policy.
Adding an Amazon S3 cloud tier
To add a cloud storage group, complete the following steps:
- In the navigation menu, click Cloud Tier.
- In the Cloud pane, click Configure to add a cloud tier.
- In the Cloud Provider drop-down, select AWS S3.
- Provide the name for your S3 bucket.
- Enter your Connection String using one of the two methods below:
- Default - this option will compile your connection string into the correct format using the inputs below.
- Access key - The access key is typically 20 upper-case English characters
- Secret key - The secret key is generated automatically by AWS. It is typically 40 characters, including mixed upper and lower-case and special symbols.
- Region - The region specifies the Amazon-specific region in which you want to deploy your backup solution. Your region name can be obtained from https://docs.aws.amazon.com/general/latest/gr/rande.html#s3_region
- Custom - this option allows you to enter your connection string with additional parameters.
- Your connection string uses the following syntax:
"accesskey=<ABDCEWERS>;secretkey=< >; loglevel=warn; region=<aws-region>;"
Please note the following:
- The access key is typically 20 upper-case English characters
- The secret key is generated automatically by AWS. It is typically 40 characters, including mixed upper and lower-case and special symbols.
- The region specifies the Amazon-specific region in which you want to deploy your backup solution. Your region name can be obtained from https://docs.aws.amazon.com/general/latest/gr/rande.html#s3_region
An example of a connection string with this syntax follows. Logically, each connection string is unique.
accesskey=AKIARERFUCFODHFJUCWK;secretkey=p+8/T+o5WeZkX11QbuPazHX1IdWbwgFplxuVlO8J;loglevel=warn;region=eu-central-1;
- To apply encryption, in the Cloud TierEncryption section enter the following:
- Passphrase — the passphrase is user-defined and is used to generate a passphrase key that encrypts the file in which the content encryption keys are kept. The passphrase is a human readable key, which can be up to 255 bytes in length. It is mandatory to define a passphrase to enable encryption.

NOTE: It is mandatory to define a passphrase to enable encryption. If the passphrase is compromised or lost, the administrator should change it immediately so that the content encryption keys do not become vulnerable. |
- Confirm Passphrase — re-enter the passphrase used above.
- Click Configure. A Cloud Storage Group will be created.
- To enable replication to the cloud, you must link a local container to the cloud using the procedures in Adding a Cloud Tiering policy.
Adding a Wasabi S3 cloud tier
To add a cloud storage group, complete the following steps:
- In the navigation menu, click Cloud Tier.
- In the Cloud pane, click Configure to add a cloud tier.
- In the Cloud Provider drop-down, select Wasabi S3.
- Provide a container name. This is the existing name of your container in your cloud platform.
- Enter your Connection String using one of the two methods below:
- Default - this option will compile your connection string into the correct format using the inputs below.
- Access key - The access key is typically 20 upper-case English characters
- Secret key - The secret key is generated automatically by AWS. It is typically 40 characters, including mixed upper and lower-case and special symbols.
- Region - The region specifies the Amazon-specific region in which you want to deploy your backup solution. Your region name can be obtained from https://docs.aws.amazon.com/general/latest/gr/rande.html#s3_region
- Endpoint - If you are using VPC endpoints, enter the correct endpoint information.
- Custom - this option allows you to enter your connection string with additional parameters.
- Your connection string uses the following syntax:
"accesskey=<ABDCEWERS>;secretkey=< >; loglevel=warn; region=<aws-region>;"
Please note the following:
- The access key is typically 20 upper-case English characters
- The secret key is generated automatically by AWS. It is typically 40 characters, including mixed upper and lower-case and special symbols.
