Open Arcserve Manager and follow the following steps shown in the image 2. Select Destination tab of the Backup Manager or Destination tab of Archiving Manager or Device Manager and follow the steps mentioned in the image to add new Cloud Connection.

2 3. After successful creation of cloud connection, follow the steps listed in the image to create cloud based devices

3 Test Cases to be performed Case 1: Device Configuration 1. Go to Device Manager 2. Create new cloud connection by choosing Manage Cloud Connections from bottom right pane. 3. After succesful creation of cloud connection, a pop-up should come for creation of new Cloud device 4. Click Yes and create new cloud device Result: Cloud device should be created successfully Note: 1. Create Cloud device from backup manager and Archive manager 2. In step 3, choose No and create cloud device by choosing Manage Cloud-based devices option from bottom right pane. 3. Create cloud connections with http and https if cloud vendor supports both and create devices on both the connections Case 2: Format Cloud device 1. Format newly created Cloud device 2. Run few backups on to the Cloud Device 3. Format cloud device 4. Submit Backup/Archive job to Formatted device in step 2 Result: Data Migration jobs should be successful to the cloud device Case 3: Erase Cloud device 1. Run few backups on to the Cloud Device 2.
