1 About the backup service

The backup service management is available through a web interface.

1.1 User accounts

There are two account types: administrator accounts and backup accounts.

An administrator can create and manage groups, administrator accounts, and backup accounts on or

below their level in the hierarchy.

A backup account enables backing up physical and virtual machines. It is created by an administrator

within a group and typically corresponds to an end user. Both the end user and the administrators

can manage backups of the end users' data.

The organization group is automatically created for your organization. Optionally, you can create

unit groups, which typically correspond to units or departments of the organization.

The following diagram illustrates two hierarchy levels—the organization and unit groups. Optional

groups and accounts are shown by a dotted line.
