Manage Backup Providers Tab

The Manage Backup Providers tab lets you specify the backup providers that CloudAdvisor can use to access files on the associated VMs. For VMs that are regularly backed up by a backup utility, this provides an alternate way for CloudAdvisor to monitor the files on the VM.

When adding backup providers, keep the following in mind:

CloudAdvisor currently supports only backups created by Veeam Backup and Replication.
If you want to add a new backup provider, you need to know the name or IP address of the Veeam management interface as well as Veeam user account credentials with administration privileges.
When a backup provider is added to inventory, CloudAdvisor discovers information about what VMs are being backed up by that provider and what backups currently exist. CloudAdvisor then tailors the remaining steps in the workflow based on this information.
