How to setup policy for backing up to CenturyLink

The policy in AhsayCBS allows administrator to: a). Enable / disable users to back up to their own CenturyLink account, and b). Enable / disable users to back up to a dedicated CenturyLink account predefined in AhsayCBS.

Option 1). To enable users to back up to their own CenturyLink accounts:

Go to "AhsayCBS web console > Backup / Restore > Users, Groups & Policies > Policy Group". Select an existing policy or create a new policy. Then, enable the feature "Backup Set Settings > Destination Visible to Users". After this feature is enabled, you can add "Amazon S3 AWS Compatible Storage" under Standard Destination. CenturyLink is an S3 Compatible cloud storage, so adding this option will let users back up to their own CenturyLink account.

Then, assign users to an appropriate User Group that is bound to this policy, and these users will be able to back up to their own CenturyLink accounts.

Option 2). To enable users to back up to a dedicated CenturyLink bucket predefined in AhsayCBS:

If you're an MSP who want to use CenturyLink for storing all your users' backup data, you need to create a Predefined Destination first by going to "AhsayCBS web console > System Settings > Basic > Predefined Destinations" and adding your dedicated CenturyLink bucket there, as CenturyLink is an S3 Compatible cloud storage.

After the above step, go to "AhsayCBS web console > Backup / Restore > Users, Groups & Policies > Policy Group". Select an existing policy or create a new policy. Then, enable the feature "Backup Set Settings > Destination Visible to Users" and add the previously created CenturyLink bucket under Predefined Destination.

Then, assign users to an appropriate User Group that is bound to this policy, and these users will be able to choose the predefined CenturyLink storage as the backup destination. As you can see from the following image, only the customized destination name will be shown. Only a generic destination logo will be shown. Therefore, if you don't want the backup users to know the type of destination used, you can simply enter a name without the destination type, such as My Backup Server.
