Follow these steps to create a Cloud Storage Account that will back up to an Amazon Glacier vault:

** *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.
