This guide covers the management of users for Swiss Backup for Acronis backups.

Swiss Backup Administrator

Your account SBA-XXXX-ADMIN obtained after configuring Swiss Backup on the Infomaniak Manager has default access to all licenses, devices, locations, and the entire quota available to it:

1. Click here to access the Acronis Console with the credentials obtained after adding the device (need help?).
2. On the homepage, an administrator account will always see the management button, which will not be the case with a limited account:
   
3. This gives access to the section reserved for admin accounts (or "business leader" according to the terms visible on the platform acronis.infomaniak.com):
   

If you have acquired 2 licenses/devices and your total storage quota is 1 TB for Acronis (for example):

• 1 Mobile
• 1 Server

your account SBA-XXXX-ADMIN can back up 1 mobile device and 1 server; the storage quota for the 2 devices will be shared but limited to 1 TB.

In the Acronis interface, you will see an "unlimited" quota, but it remains limited to the options you have chosen in the Swiss Backup Manager.

To better manage storage quotas and service quotas (licenses), create users on Acronis, this allows you to:

• manage quotas
• manage notifications
• modify the backup frequency
  etc.

Add a user

There are two types of user accounts: administrator accounts and user accounts (read Acronis' help on this subject). Only an administrator account can add/remove users:

1. Click here to access the Acronis Console with the credentials obtained after adding the device (need help?).
2. Click on Manage Account in the left sidebar.
3. Click on Business Leaders.
4. Click the Users button.
5. Click on the +New button at the top of the page.
6. Fill in the information (read Acronis help on this subject).

Delete a user

Warning:

• Deleting the device is irreversible and all backed-up data will be deleted from Infomaniak servers.
• Machines associated with this user will be unregistered.
• All protection plans will be revoked from all machines associated with this user.

To delete the account:

1. Click here to access the Acronis Console with an Admin account.
2. Click on Manage Account in the left sidebar.
3. Click on Company Leaders (as in this example).
4. Click on the action menu ⋮ to the right of the user concerned in the displayed table.
5. Deactivate the account.
6. Once the account is deactivated, delete the account (from point 5 above).

Link device and user

Example

1 TB Storage
Licenses 2 Mobiles, 1 Server, 1 VM

• SBA-XXXX-ADMIN (limited to the default Infomaniak Manager quotas)
• User1 (storage quota: 800 GB, service quota: 1 Mobile, 1 Server)
• User2 (storage quota: 200 GB, service quota: 1 Mobile, 1 VM)

To link a device to a user, download and install the Acronis agent on the device in question then confirm registration with the correct account (SBA-XXXX-ADMIN, user1 or user2):

To resolve registration issues, refer to this other guide.

This guide explains how to install the Acronis Backup Agent for Swiss Backup on Apple Macs equipped with M1, M2... processors using an ARM architecture instead of the usual x86 architecture.

This guide explains the procedure to modify a Swiss Backup offer, the secure backup solution in an independent Swiss cloud.

Modify your Swiss Backup offer

To access the modification of your Swiss Backup offer, follow these steps:

1. Click here to open the management of your product in the Infomaniak Manager (need help?).
2. In the list of your products, click on the action menu ⋮ located to the right of the name of your Swiss Backup space.
3. Select Modify the offer:
   
4. Adjust the parameters of your offer according to your needs by modifying:
   • the storage space
   • the number of devices
   • the number of virtual machines via Acronis
   • the number of Linux/Windows servers via Acronis
   • etc.
5. Click on Next and proceed to payment to validate the modification.

You can also manage your offer directly from the product dashboard:

Examples of offer modification

Initially, the user wanted to:

• back up an iOS/Android mobile device with Acronis
• and have a free backup of the Cloud type accessible by SFTP or similar method.

They now want to:

• back up two devices via Acronis (still the mobile device and a Windows computer), without keeping the free backup.

It modifies the quotas:

All you have to do is validate the payment to apply the modification.

Warning:

For example, if you want to remove a website backup, you must first delete it from your Acronis dashboard.

Indeed, to completely modify the offer (for example, to keep only a single backup of a Windows computer), the command cannot be finalized as long as the following message appears:
"The number of selected licenses is less than the current usage of your product"
This message occurs when you try to reduce to zero the quantity of an active backup type.

In this case, proceed as follows:

1. Click here to access the Acronis console with the credentials obtained when adding the device (need help?).
2. Delete the device in question from the "Devices" menu.
3. Wait about ten minutes for the quotas to update.

The quota of your devices displayed in the Infomaniak Manager should then go to zero. You will then be able to modify the offer without encountering any blocking errors.

This guide explains how to delete a device (such as a Cloud Backup) on Swiss Backup, the independent Swiss cloud backup solution.

Delete a device (Swift, S3, etc.)

To access Swiss Backup and remove one of the free backup locations:

1. Click here to access your product management on the Infomaniak Manager (need help?).
2. Click directly on the name assigned to the product concerned:
   
3. Click on the blue button Manage my devices (in the Cloud Backup Space section):
   
4. Click on the action menu ⋮ to the right of the object concerned in the displayed table.
5. Click on Delete the device:
   
6. Confirm the deletion by entering the login password for the Manager and activating the confirmation box.

To choose a new device on Swiss Backup, refer to this other guide.

Este guia aborda o armazenamento imutável, um recurso de segurança essencial que permite proteger seus backups contra exclusão acidental ou maliciosa, incluindo ataques de ransomware.

Introdução

• O Armazenamento Imutável (Immutability) é uma configuração que torna os dados de seus backups Acronis não modificáveis e não excluíveis por um período de tempo que você define.
• Uma vez que o período de retenção esteja ativo, nenhuma ação (exclusão ou modificação) pode ser realizada nesses dados até que o período expire.

Configuração e Uso

Esta funcionalidade é gerenciada diretamente por meio dos Planos de Backup no console de gerenciamento Acronis Cyber Protect.

Consulte a documentação da Acronis para obter as etapas detalhadas de ativação da opção de imutabilidade em seu plano de backup.

Limitação em outros protocolos (Swift e S3)

A imutabilidade não está disponível em outros protocolos de armazenamento do Swiss Backup, como Swift e S3. Essa limitação se deve a restrições técnicas inerentes ao protocolo Swift OpenStack que esses armazenamentos utilizam.

This guide concerns backing up Microsoft OneDrive to Swiss Backup, the backup solution in a Swiss independent cloud.

Introduction

• Acronis (and other backup software) cannot back up OneDrive files that are only in the cloud.
  • Microsoft's Files On-Demand feature creates NTFS reparse points instead of the actual files on the disk, which causes an error during the backup.

Disable Files On-Demand

It is possible to work around this issue by forcing OneDrive to download all files locally, and then restarting the backup:

1. Click on the OneDrive icon in the notification area (taskbar).
2. Open Settings > Sync and backup tab (or Settings depending on the version).
3. Disable the Files On-Demand option.
4. Wait for the files to download completely to your device.
5. Restart the backup from Swiss Backup.

Warning: this operation requires sufficient local disk space to store all of your OneDrive files.

Alternative solutions

• Import OneDrive content to kDrive in a few clicks
• Back up a Microsoft 365 organization to Swiss Backup

To restore a Swiss Backup backup on a virtual machine, refer to the Acronis documentation on the subject:

• https://www.acronis.com/en-us/support/documentation/CyberProtectionService/#recovery-virtual-machines.html
• https://www.acronis.com/en-us/support/documentation/CyberProtectionService/#recovery.html

The agent does not store your account credentials and does not use them to perform backups and restores. Changing the password of this account or deactivating or deleting this account in Microsoft 365 does not affect the operation of the agent.

Your Microsoft 365 organization then appears under the Devices tab in the Cyber Protect console:

Backup / Synchronization Frequency

The Cloud Agent synchronizes with Microsoft 365 every 24 hours, starting from the moment the organization is added to the Cyber Protection service. If you add or delete a user, group, or site, this change will not be immediately visible in the Cyber Protect console.

Immediate Synchronization

To synchronize the change immediately, select the organization on the Microsoft 365 page and then click Refresh.

If you have applied a protection plan to the All Users, All Groups, or All Sites group, recently added items will only be included in the backup once synchronization has been performed.

In case of slowdowns

If the Microsoft 365 Cloud-to-Cloud (C2C) backup or restore tasks are running slower than expected and taking a long time to complete, refer to this other guide to temporarily disable Exchange Web Services API throttling to improve performance when restoring Microsoft 365 items.

Deleted Items

In accordance with Microsoft's policy, when a user, group, or site is deleted from the Microsoft 365 graphical interface, it remains available for a few days via the API. During this period, the deleted item is inactive (grayed out) in the Cyber Protect console and is not backed up.

When the deleted item is no longer available via the API, it will disappear from the Cyber Protect console. Its backups (if any) are located under Backup Storage > Cloud Application Backups.

This guide explains how to delete a Swiss Backup backup with Acronis, and the different scenarios that may occur during deletion. Also refer to this other Acronis guide on the subject.

Prerequisites

• At least one device must be registered (and online) with the same credentials used to perform the backup:
  • For example, if the goal is to delete a backup made by SBA-XXXX-ADMIN but no device is online, simply download Acronis on another device and register it with the same user:
    
• Deletion requires free space:
  • Please consider increasing your user quota (help), once the deletion is complete, you can return the quota to the agreed level:
    
• Refresh storage:
  • If a deletion has been made recently, be patient, the deletion may take some time depending on the size of the archive to be deleted; if the used storage space has not changed, refresh the backup location:
    

Delete an Acronis backup

To do this:

1. Log in to Backup Storage son the Cyber Protect console.
2. Select the location from which you want to delete the backups.
3. Select the backup archive from which you want to delete the backups.

Delete the entire backup archive

1. Click on Delete.
2. Deleting a backup archive deletes all backups in that archive.

Delete a specific backup in the backup archive

1. Click on View backups.
2. Select the backup (restore point) you want to delete.
3. Click on Actions > Delete:
   1. When deleting a backup archive, check the box then click on Delete to confirm your decision.
   2. When deleting a specific backup, click on Delete to confirm your decision.

Delete all backups related to a user

• Even if no device is online, you can Disable > Delete (refer to this Acronis guide on the subject).

Delete incomplete backups (if any)

• Refer to this other guide for detailed instructions.

Certificate

If the storage quota/deletion problem persists even after increasing the storage quota of the affected user, it is recommended to reinstall Acronis.

When Acronis is completely uninstalled, this deletes the certificate that may be causing this bug.

To manually delete the certificate, without uninstalling Acronis:

1. Check its location and delete/move the certificate - refer to this other guide.
2. Restart Acronis Managed Machine Service - refer to this other guide.
3. Run a backup or refresh the storage.
4. This will generate a new certificate and resolve the storage quota issue.

This guide helps you if your SFTP software/client suddenly displays a request to accept a new fingerprint (digital fingerprint) when using the Swiss Backup Infomaniak service.

SFTP software/client alert

If your SFTP software suddenly displays a message asking you to accept a new fingerprint (digital fingerprint), this does not necessarily indicate a security issue. This request may occur following planned technical changes to Infomaniak's infrastructure (if you have received an email about this).

Indeed, as part of the evolution of its services, Infomaniak has recently changed the SFTP gateway used to access hosted files. These changes involve the deployment of new SSH keys on the server side. However, for security reasons, SFTP software/clients systematically compare the server key with the one they have in memory.

If a difference is detected, even if legitimate, they alert you to request confirmation. Therefore, it is normal for an alert to appear and for you to be asked to approve a new fingerprint.

Check if necessary

You can check the official new fingerprints of Infomaniak's SSH keys below. If they match what is displayed in your software, you can accept them with confidence:

This change has no impact on the security of your data. If you use scripts or automated software for your transfers or backups, make sure they take this new fingerprint into account.
