NetWorker can protect data by generating a copy of data and sending it to a remote destination. The remote copy (archive copy) is kept off-premises using Cloud storage. For quick recovery, you can save the first backup copy on-premises. In this section, you will learn how to create a device located on Lyve Cloud for an archive clone repository.

Procedure. To create a data domain cloud tier device:
  1. Open Network Administrator, right-click on Devices and select New Device Wizard.

  2. Select DD Cloud Tier as the Device Type. Select Next.
