Overview 

x360Recover Manager provides the user interface (UI) that lets you directly log into a vault (either on the Axcient Cloud or on a private vault) or into an appliance (for BDR services).You'll use the x360Recover Manager UI to manage a specific vault or appliance, including viewing protected devices, managing backup jobs, and recovering data. 

What's the difference between the vault UI and the appliance UI?  

The x360Recover vault UI provides essentially the same services and features as the x360Recover appliance UI, with a few differences in presentation and function.

The main differences stem from the intended uses of the two types of backup:

• An appliance is intended to be deployed at a single customer location.
• A vault is designed to be multi-tenant, which means the vault can securely accept replicated recovery point data from multiple customers and sites. 

Vault UI

The UI features and options for a vault are slightly different from an appliance, with features split between Admin mode and User mode.

• Admin mode has access to all functions on the device, including user-specific features and options, such as mounting, virtualizing, and exporting protected systems.
• User mode has limited access to configurable settings on the device. Users do have full access to recovery and export options but ONLY for their own protected systems on the vault.

To allow clients to perform self service recovery operations on a vault, you may allow them to log in to the vault using the customer credentials you entered when creating the customer in the x360Recover License Portal.  Client users will only have access to their own protected systems for recovery.

The Vault Settings menu does not appear on the vault.

x360Recover vault menus

Admin 

When logged in to a vault as an Admin, the following menus are present:

• The vault synchronizes periodically with the License Portal to retrieve all customer accounts and passwords. When logged in as Admin on a vault, the Clients menu will appear.
• From the Clients menu pane, the Admin user can access a list of all customer user accounts that have been created by the partner, and set customer-specific disk space quotas per customer to limit total storage usage on this vault.
• A digest of license usage for all customers is also displayed from the Clients  menu page.

Customer 

When logged in to a vault as a Customer, the following menus are present:

• Protected Systems
• Jobs
• File Browser
• NFS Exports
• iSCSI
• System Info

Customer accounts can only access protected systems and information related to their own account.  When performing NFS Exports, virtual disk export, or browsing mounted recovery points, customer-related files are stored in customer-specific paths, secured to their login account.

x360Recover vault protected systems 

• There is no Missed Backup Alert Hours setting present on the vault.
• Replication settings do not exist on the vault.
• The Replication button has been replaced with Recover – USB.  
• Customer user accounts have access to all Snapshot actions and retention policy, but cannot configure bootVM or Migrate options.
