Configure CSM Proxy Network
Using Cloud Snapshot Manager, you can copy snapshots to PowerProtect DD Virtual Edition (DDVE) if you have DDVE deployed in your AWS or Azure cloud environment.
Prerequisites
- The source account region from which the snapshot should be copied to DDVE.
- The target account region where you want to restore the DDVE copy.
About this task
For AWS, configure CSM Proxy Network to specify the network where Cloud Snapshot Manager creates an AWS Fargate temporary container service, to copy snapshots to DDVE. The proxy is created in the AWS account region where the snapshots to be copied reside. The AWS cloud account used must be a role based account.
NOTE: If you are concerned about the cost of data transfer across zones, make sure that the subnet selected within the CSM Proxy configuration is within the same DDVE zone.

For Azure, configure CSM Proxy Network to specify the network where Cloud Snapshot Manager creates an Azure container instance, to copy snapshots to DDVE. see https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/container-registry/anonymous-pull-access. Here too, the proxy is created in the Azure account region where the snapshots to be copied reside. A storage account is required to create a storage queue and to store temporary restored page blobs.
NOTE: It is recommended that you apply a firewall (in the Azure portal) for this storage account. While applying the firewall or if you already have one, do the following for DDVE copy, expiry, and restore operations to work:

You can provide the configuration details for AWS or Azure in the CSM Proxy Network page of the Cloud Snapshot Manager portal.
