Archiving to the Cloud

With the Unitrends CloudHookfeature (release 7.5 or higher), you can archive your backups to cloud storage managed by a service provider. CloudHook provides all the benefits of Unitrends archiving while also freeing you from the burden of managing the physical archive media. This chapter discusses prerequisites and considerations for archiving to the cloud and provides instructions on using the CloudHook feature. Before setting up archiving to the cloud, it is recommended that you read Archiving Overview.

Note about archiving procedures: This chapter describes procedures specific to cloud archiving. For procedures common to all archive media, such as viewing archives and managing archive schedules, see Archiving Procedures.
