Manage Compute Zone Backup Servers
When you attach a backup server to a specific compute zone, the backups on current backup server will be created only for compute resources within this compute zone.
Ensure that Update any compute zone permission is on before managing compute zone backup servers. For more information about permissions refer to the Permissions section of this guide.
