Description

Use this command to create a BackupUnit under a particular contract. You need to specify the name, email and password for the new BackupUnit.

Notes:

• The name assigned to the BackupUnit will be concatenated with the contract number to create the login name for the backup system. The name may NOT be changed after creation.

• The password set here is used along with the login name described above to register the backup agent with the backup system. When setting the password, please make a note of it, as the value cannot be retrieved using the Cloud API.
