Create the backup manager for a datacenter

To work with a backup system in Abiquo:

1. In Infrastructure view, in a datacenter or public cloud region, go to Backup policies
2. Click the Backup manager button
3. Enter the details of the backup manager to define the connection to the backup system.

• • Abiquo does not fully validate the connection details so we recommend that you test the backup lifecycle. A connection will be made to the backup system when a user requests a backup operation. A connection will be made to the vCenter (Networker) when the user requests a restore.

For more details see GUI Create backup manager

When editing the backup manager, you can modify all values except the backup type. If you change the backup manager, future requests to the backup system will use the new values.
