NetBackup™ for Cloud Object Store Administrator's Guide

Manage Cloud object store accounts

The Cloud object store tab lets you view, add, edit, and delete the Cloud object store accounts. You can also validate the credentials for a Cloud object store account from this tab.

To view Cloud object store accounts

  1. On the left, click Workloads > Cloud object store.
  2. On the Cloud object store account tab, the accounts that are available to you are displayed.

Manually discovering assets for protection

To discover assets manually

  1. On the left, click Workloads > Cloud object store.
  2. Select the row of the account for which you want to run discovery, and click Discover at the top. Or, click the ellipsis menu (three dots) in the row of the account, and click Discover.
Edit a Cloud object store account

You cannot update the provider, the selected service host, or the region on the Edit page.

To change the region, you may have to delete and recreate the Cloud object store account. You can do it in a maintenance window when the account is active and no job is associated with it. You can also update the region in Host properties > Cloud storage for the primary server.

To edit a Cloud object store account

  1. On the left, click Workloads > Cloud object store.
  2. Select the account that you want to edit. Then click Edit.

    See Adding Cloud object store accounts.

Validate credentials for a Cloud object store account

To validate credentials for a Cloud object store account

  1. On the left, click Workloads > Cloud object store.
  2. Select the account that you want to edit. Then click Validate.

    The result of the validation process is displayed in the same column.

Delete a cloud object store account

If you delete a Cloud object store account, NetBackup no longer protects any policies that are associated with this account. You can still recover existing backup images, using a different Cloud object store account. The backups of the policies that are associated with this Cloud object store account fail.

To delete a cloud object store account

  1. On the left, click Workloads > Cloud object store.
  2. Select the account that you want to edit. Then click Delete.
  3. Click Delete.
