When you have installed your backup plugin and have a backup resource up and running, you can create a backup resource zone and assign the backup resource to this zone. Afterwards, you need to assign the backup resource zone to a compute zone. In this document, you can find information on how to manage backup resource zones in OnApp CP.  

Starting with OnApp 6.3, the R1Soft backup plugin that we support is 6.12.0. If your R1Soft version is more recent than 6.12.0, we suggest downgrading to this version if possible.
