How to create an Online Backup user account

Synopsis

This guide will explain how to create a user in the Online Backup portal

Prerequisite

Online Backup must have been added to your services in the Partner Portal. 

Creating a user account requires admin privileges.

How to

1. Go to https://backup.cld.services, enter the LOGIN name of an admin user, the password, and then select Management Portal.

 

 

2. Select manage accounts from the list on the left-hand side.

 

 

3. Select your organization from the list under groups.

 

 

4. Select Add account.

 

 

5. Specify the following information for the account:

  • Login

Note: Each account must have a unique login. If the login name already exists (even outside your own organization) you will be asked to create a different login name. You can create multiple logins for the same email address.

  • Email address
  • First name (optional)
  • Last name (optional)
  • To make the new account an administrator, enable the Administrator privileges switch.
  • (optional) Disable the Agent auto update switch. If you do this, the agents that are registered under this account will not be updated automatically when a new version is released.

 


  • (optional) Specify the storage quota and the maximum number of machines/devices/mailboxes the user is allowed to back up.
            Physical workstations
            Physical servers
            Virtual machines
            Mobile devices
            Office 365 mailboxes
            Storage quota
  • (optional) Specify the Quota overages. An overage allows the user to exceed the quota by the specified value. When the overage is exceeded, backups fail.
  • (optional) In Backup locations, select the backup locations for this account. The following options are available:
            Local and cloud
            Cloud only
  • (optional) Change the Backup notifications level. You can choose one of the following levels:
    Off: No notifications
    Less: Notifications about backup failures (default)
    More: Notifications about backup failures and warnings
    All: Notifications about backup failures and warnings, and successful backups
  • (optional) Disable Business notifications. If you do this, notifications about exceeded quotas will not be sent to the specified email address.
  • Click Add
