The management server names backup plans by using the following
template: %OrgName%_%BackupPlanOwner%_%BackupPlanName%, where %OrgName% is the name of
an organization, %BackupPlanOwner% is the name of the backup plan owner as it is displayed in the
Acronis Backup Advanced for vCloud interface, and %BackupPlanName% is the name of the backup plan as
it is displayed in the Acronis Backup Advanced for vCloud interface. For example, MyOrg_OrgUser_Daily.
4. Repeat steps 2-3 for every organization for which the backup storage will be changed.
5. If any of the disabled backup plans are running, wait until all of them stop.
Tip. You can inspect backup plan's Execution state to see if it is currently running.
Moving the backups
1. Move an organization's backup storage to the new storage device.
Important. All of the folders and files in the backup storage must be moved. This operation may
be time consuming.
2. Repeat step 1 for every organization for which the backup storage will be changed.
Changing the backup storage
1. Log in to the service (if logged out) and click the Organizations tab.
2. Select the organization to change the backup storage for and then click Configure.
3. In Backup storage, specify the path to the new backup storage. If authentication is required to
access the folder, specify the credentials of a user account that has read/write permissions for
this folder.
4. Repeat steps 2-3 for every organization for which the backup storage will be changed.
Enabling the backup plans
1. Connect the console to the management server (p. 16) (if not connected).
2. Click Backup plans and tasks.
3. Enable the previously disabled backup plans by selecting each of the backup plans and then
clicking Enable.
Enabling user access to the service
1. Log in to the service (if logged out) and click the Organizations tab.
2. Select the organization for which the backup storage has been changed and then click Configure.
3. On the User privileges tab, select the Log in to the backup service check box. Click OK to confirm
the changes.
4. Repeat steps 2-3 for every organization for which the backup storage has been changed.
1.10 Security and customization
This section describes how to change the security certificates that are used by the service, and how
to customize the user interface.
1.10.1 Changing the SSL certificate
Agent for vCloud uses a Secure Socket Layer (SSL) certificate to provide encryption for the web
interface. By default, the agent uses a self-signed certificate that is the same for all copies of Acronis
Backup Advanced for vCloud worldwide.
