*Account Type: Amazon Glacier*

Follow these steps to create a Cloud Storage Account that will back up to an Amazon Glacier vault:
* Select *Amazon Glacier* from the _Account Type_ drop-down menu. Follow the process below for configuring the additional *Account Type* fields with the requisite details from your Amazon Glacier account:
** *Vault*: The name of the Amazon Glacier vault to which the disk safe will be backed up. This is the Amazon vault name that appears on the _Amazon Glacier Vaults{_}page of your AWS account.

** *End Point*: For this field, you will enter the Amazon-generated URL that will connect the SBM appliance to the Amazon Glacier API. This URL is based on the data center region specified when you set up your Amazon Glacier account. Follow these steps to determine the End Point URL:
*** Determine your Glacier vault region (for example: _US West (Oregon)_. The vault region is displayed in the _Details_ tab of the *Amazon Glacier Vaults* page.

*** Go to the [Amazon Glacier table|http://docs.aws.amazon.com/general/latest/gr/rande.html#glacier_region] on the AWS website and locate your vault region in the _Endpoint_ column.

*** Use either the _http_ or _https_ prefix and enter the URL from the Amazon _Endpoint_ column in the *End Point* field. For example, if your region is US West (Oregon), you would enter _[http://glacier.us-west-2.amazonaws.com_ or _https://glacier.us-west-2.amazonaws.com_ in]_ _the _End Point_ field.

*** *Access Key*: Amazon Web Services' _Access Key ID_ is created from the _My Security Credentials_ page of your AWS account. You will need to create this key (and the Secret Access Key associated with it) to complete this step.
*** From the AWS home page, click on your account name in the toolbar and select *My Security Credentials* from the drop-down menu.

** *Confirm Secret Key*. Re-enter the AWS Secret Access Key.
* *Owner*: Designate the SBM appliance user who will be the owner of the Cloud Storage Account.
