Configure CloudCache

After you activate the CloudCache, you must configure the CloudCache so that you can successfully use it for your data backup and restore tasks.

In the configuration, perform the following tasks:

  1. Add volume: While adding a volume, specify the folder as a volume and folder size as the volume size to back up your server data in CloudCache. For more information, see Add Data Volumes.
  2. Define retention period: To back up and restore your servers, you need to configure the retention period for each attached backup set. For more information, see Update the retention period.
  3. Define synchronization schedule and maximum bandwidth: The schedule that you configure for CloudCache to synchronize the data with Druva Cloud storage. To ensure optimum usage of bandwidth, we recommend that you set these schedules during off-peak hours. To benefit from the wider off-peak windows on weekends, you can set the weekly schedule for a longer duration. For more information, see Update synchronization schedule for a CloudCache.
  4. Attach backup set: Attach one or more backup sets that you want to map to  CloudCache. For more information, see Attach a new backup set.

Note: Perform these steps for all instances of CloudCache.
