4.1. Connecting to the Virtuozzo Infrastructure Platform Cluster via Acronis Backup Gateway

Before you proceed, make sure that the Virtuozzo Infrastructure Platform cluster has enough space for backups.

To connect Acronis Backup Cloud or Acronis Backup Advanced to the local Virtuozzo Infrastructure Platform cluster via Acronis Backup Gateway, do the following:

  1. Make sure that the Acronis Backup Gateway network is configured on each node that will run the gateway service.

  2. On the STORAGE SERVICES > Backup > NODES screen, select the checkbox next to the only node in the cluster.

  3. Click Create Gateway then This Virtuozzo Infrastructure Platform cluster.

    Note

    1. Redundancy by replication is not supported for Acronis Backup Gateway.
    2. You can later change the erasure coding mode on the Acronis Backup Gateway > Parameters panel.

  7. Click NEXT.

  8. On the DNS Configuration tab, specify the external DNS name for this gateway, e.g, backupgateway.example.com. Make sure that each node running the gateway service has a port open for outgoing Internet connections and incoming connections from your Acronis backup software. Backup agents will use this address and port to upload the backed-up data.

    Important

    1. Configure your DNS server according to the example suggested in the management panel.
    2. Each time you add or remove a node to or from the Acronis Backup Gateway cluster, adjust the DNS settings accordingly.

  9. Click NEXT.

  10. Depending on the Acronis product you use, specify the following on the Registration tab:

    • In Account Server Name, specify the address of the Acronis Backup Cloud management portal (e.g., https://cloud.acronis.com/) or the hostname/IP address and port of the Acronis Backup Advanced management server (e.g., http://192.168.1.2:9877).
    • In Acronis Account, specify the credentials of the Acronis Backup Cloud or Acronis Backup Advanced administrator account.

  11. Click DONE.
