    Manage Cache Storage

    Cache storage acts as a temporary, high-performance staging area during data operations to ensure secure and efficient data transfer. By processing and caching data locally before it is transmitted to permanent storage, the cache minimizes the impact of network latency and instability, enhancing the overall reliability and speed of your data protection activities.

    When enabling the CAP Gateway mode, you can configure cache storage to store system files and ensure secure data transfer. The cache storage is available for both AvePoint default storage type and BYOS storage type. Currently, the following storage types are supported:

    - Microsoft Azure Blob Storage - Amazon S3 - Google Cloud Storage

    Before configuring the cache storage, note the following:

    - **Google Cloud** **Storage** is not supported if you are using Cloud Backup for IaaS + PaaS in the data center operated by 21Vianet in China. - The following permissions are required for the Google Cloud Storage. For permission details, refer to . - storage.buckets.get - storage.buckets.list - storage.objects.list - storage.objects.create - storage.objects.delete - storage.objects.get - When using Google Cloud Storage as the storage type for both backup and cache storage profiles, it is recommended to use separate buckets for each. - The storage profile zone is recommended to be the same as the zone of the protected objects in the backup scope.

    Follow the instructions below to create a cache storage profile:

    1. Navigate to Settings > Storage profiles > Cache storage.

    2. In the Cache storage tab, click the Create button. The Create cache storage profile pane appears on the right.
