How to Access Veeam Via Cloud Portal
There is no action needed on your part to start using the Self-Service Backup Portal functionalities in Cloud Director. The plugin is already set up and ready to use:
1. Navigate to the Cloud Director portal for your location. Use the URL provided by phoenixNAP.
For example, Ashburn VPDC tenants' URL is in this format:
https://ashvpdc.phoenixnap.com/tenant/OrganizationName/2. Enter the Cloud Director credentials to log in as you normally would.
3. Click the More tab in the Cloud Director and select Data Protection with Veeam.
The Veeam Plugin uses VMware Cloud Director for authentication and logs in to Veeam Self-Service Backup Portal automatically. The portal's theme changes to match the default Cloud Director UI to offer a seamless experience.
This screen shows all the functions from Veeam Self-Service Backup Portal. You can view all jobs and perform any action the same way you do it directly from the Veeam's portal.
For example:
- View backup statistics.
- Enable, disable, start, stop, retry, modify, delete, or create backup jobs.
- Back up and restore VMs and vApps.
- Restore application items for SQL Server and Oracle databases.
Note: If you navigate away from Cloud Director while the Veeam Self-Service Portal page is loaded, the session times out and automatically logs you off when idle for too long. The idle timer is shorter for the Veeam Plugin. Refresh the page or navigate back to More -> Data Protection with Veeam to reload Self-Service Backup Portal in Cloud Director.
