4. Connecting Acronis Backup Software to Storage Backends via Acronis Backup Gateway¶
Note
If you are going to migrate your Acronis Storage Gateway, skip the steps described in this chapter and proceed to Migrating Backups from Older Acronis Storage and Acronis Storage Gateway Solutions.
You can use Acronis Backup Gateway to keep Acronis Backup Cloud and Acronis Backup Advanced data on the following storage backends:
- Virtuozzo Infrastructure Platform clusters,
- NFS shares,
- public clouds, including a number of S3 solutions as well as Microsoft Azure and OpenStack Swift.
Note
- When configuring Acronis Backup Gateway, you will need to provide the credentials of your administrator account in the Acronis backup software.
- In cases when not local but external storage (e.g., NFS) is used with Acronis Backup Gateway, redundancy has to be provided by said external storage. Acronis Backup Gateway does not provide data redundancy or perform data deduplication itself.
