Managing Subscriptions
To let users manage Veeam Data Cloud Vault subscriptions and storage vaults, Veeam offers a centralized tool, the My Account portal. You must obtain a subscription and create at least one storage vault in this subscription to start using Veeam Data Cloud Vault with Veeam Backup & Replication. You can perform these operations in advance or after you initiate the process of connecting the products as described in Using with Veeam Backup and Replication.
To obtain a Veeam Data Cloud Vault subscription, do the following:
- Log in to the My Account portal.
- In the main menu, click Cloud Management > Vault Subscriptions.
- If your organization has no Veeam Data Cloud Vault subscriptions, the Vault Subscriptions page will display a message about this along with a link to the Veeam Data Cloud Vault product page on the Veeam website. Click Buy Now and follow the steps on the Veeam website to obtain a subscription.

After you obtain a Veeam Data Cloud Vault subscription, you must create a storage vault that will be used as a target location for your data. To create a storage vault for a Veeam Data Cloud Vault subscription, do the following:

You will be prompted to log in to the Veeam Data Cloud Vault customer portal and will be able to manage storage vaults.

To view details of your Veeam Data Cloud Vault subscription, do the following:

Note |
If the subscription is not paid, the My Account portal displays the Active (read-only) status for the subscription. In this situation, you cannot write data to the storage vaults within this subscription. Data restore operations remain available. After the subscription status changes back to Active, the My Account portal automatically passes this information to Veeam Backup & Replication. This information is updated in Veeam Backup & Replication once every 4 hours. If you want to start using the storage earlier, you must rescan the backup server in the Veeam Backup & Replication console. For more information, see the Rescanning Servers section in the Veeam Backup & Replication User Guide. |
