About cloud accounts
Rapid Recovery lets you archive data to a variety of cloud providers, or import archived data stored in a cloud
account. Compatible clouds include Microsoft Azure, Amazon™, Rackspace, and any OpenStack-based provider.
You can add an existing cloud account to the Rapid Recovery Core console. Once added, you can edit the
information, configure the account connection options, or remove the account from Rapid Recovery.

Adding a cloud account
Before you can move data in either direction between a cloud account and your Core, you must add cloud
provider account information to the Rapid Recovery Core Console. This information identifies the cloud account in
the Core Console while caching the connection information securely. This process then lets Rapid Recovery Core
connect to the cloud account to perform the operations you specify.
To add a cloud account, complete the steps in the following procedure.
1.
On the Rapid Recovery Core Console icon bar, click the
More icon and then select Cloud Accounts.
The Cloud Accounts page appears.
2. On the Cloud Accounts page, click Add New Account.
The Add New Account dialog box opens.
3. Select a compatible cloud provider from the Cloud Type drop-down list.
4. Enter the details described in the following table based on the cloud type selected in Step 3.
