NetBackup™ Web UI Cloud Administrator's Guide

Add a Snapshot Manager

You can add a Snapshot Manager using the NetBackup web UI.

Starting with NetBackup 11.1, a cloud administrator can use a Snapshot Manager configured by a NAS administrator to manage storage arrays across different cloud providers, such as Azure Files, Azure NetApp Files, and FSx for AWS.

Note:

To allow backups from snapshots, bi-directional connectivity is required between Snapshot Manager and NetBackup servers.

To add a Snapshot Manager

  1. On the left, click Workloads > Cloud.
  2. Click on the Snapshot Managers tab.
  3. Click Add.
  4. In the Snapshot Manager field, enter one of the following:
    • The host name or IP address of the Snapshot Manager.

      The host name or IP address must be the same as the one you provided at the time of Snapshot Manager configuration during Snapshot Manager installation.

    • If the DNS server is configured, enter the FQDN of the Snapshot Manager.

  5. In the Port field, enter the port number for the Snapshot Manager.

    The default port value is 443.

  6. Click Save.

The added Snapshot Manager is also visible in the Storage > Snapshot Manager tab.
