6.3 Creating backup storage
1. In the Acronis Cyber Infrastructure admin panel, navigate to the Infrastructure > Networks
screen. Ensure that the Backup (ABGW) private and Backup (ABGW) public traffic types are
added to the networks you intend to use.
2. Open the Storage services > Backup storage screen, and then click Create backup storage.
3. On the Backup destination step, select Acronis Cyber Infrastructure cluster.
4. On the Nodes step, select nodes to add to the backup storage cluster, and then click Next.
5. On the Storage policy step, select the Encoding 3+2 redundancy mode, and then click Next.
6. On the DNS step, specify a DNS name that will be associated with the selected cluster and used
to register that cluster within Acronis Cyber Protect (for example, "backup.example.com"). The
new DNS name is associated with each node's IP address in the selected cluster. A specific node
for backup operations is selected automatically by the backup agent. Click Next.
7. On the Acronis account step, specify the URL with the IP address or hostname of the machine
used to access the Acronis Cyber Protect console (example: http://192.168.128.212:9877). If you

management server administrator (for example, "root"). Click Next.
8. On the Summary step, review the configuration, and then click Create.
