Step 3: Associate a Resource with the Vault

If you have already associated servers, file systems, or disks when purchasing a vault, skip this step.

After a server backup vault, SFS Turbo backup vault, or disk backup vault is created, you can associate servers, file systems, or disks with the vault to back up these resources.

Prerequisites

  • A vault can be associated with a maximum of 256 resources.
  • The servers you plan to associate with a vault must have at least one disk attached.
  • The vault and the resources you plan to associate with it must be in the same region.
  • The total size of the resources to be associated cannot be greater than the vault capacity.
  • Resources can be associated only when they are in the statuses in the table below.
