Backup tasks are Administration Server tasks. You create a backup task if you want to use a DBMS located in a cloud environment (AWS or Azure).

To create an Administration Server data backup task:

1. In the main menu, go to Devices → Tasks.
2. Click Add.

   The New task wizard starts.

3. On the first page of the wizard, in the Application list, select Kaspersky Security Center 14.2, and in the Task type list, select Backup of Administration Server data.
4. On the corresponding page of the wizard, specify the following information:
   • If you are working with a database in AWS:
     • S3 bucket name

       The name of the S3 bucket that you created for the Backup.

     • Access key ID

       You received the key ID (sequence of alphanumeric characters) when you created the IAM user account for working with S3 bucket storage instance.

       The field is available if you selected RDS database on an S3 bucket.

     • Secret key

       The secret key that you received with the access key ID when you created the IAM user account.

       The characters of the secret key are displayed as asterisks. After you begin entering the secret key, the Show button is displayed. Click and hold this button for the necessary amount of time to view the characters you entered.

       The field is available if you selected an AWS IAM access key for authorization instead of an IAM role.

   • If you are working with a database in Microsoft Azure:
     • Azure storage account name

       You created the name of the Azure storage account for working with Kaspersky Security Center.

     • Azure Subscription ID

       You created the subscription on the Azure portal.

     • Azure password

       You received the password of the Application ID when you created the Application ID.

       The characters of the password are displayed as asterisks. After you begin entering the password, the Show button becomes available. Click and hold this button to view the characters you entered.

     • Azure Application ID

       You created this application ID on the Azure portal.

       You can provide only one Azure Application ID for polling and other purposes. If you want to poll another Azure segment, you must first delete the existing Azure connection.

     • Azure SQL server name

       The name and the resource group are available in your Azure SQL Server properties.

     • Azure SQL server resource group

       The name and the resource group are available in your Azure SQL Server properties.

     • Azure storage access key

       Available in the properties of your storage account, in the Access Keys section. You can use any of the keys (key1 or key2).

The task is created and displayed in the list of tasks. If you enable the Open task details when creation is complete option, you can modify the default task settings immediately after the task is created. If you do not enable this option, the task is created with the default settings. You can modify the default settings later, at any time.
