Make sure you have more than one Druva Cloud Administrator created for your account. If in case you forget your password, the other Druva cloud admin can reset the password. Druva does not store passwords.
If using single sign-on (SSO) for administrators, enable “ Allow failsafe access to Druva Cloud Administrators.” This allows the administrators to access the Druva Cloud Platform when there is an issue with single sign-on.
Ensure that you have the correct storage regions added to your instance. This is especially important if you have servers or offices located in different geographical regions, as you'll want to configure region-specific storage.

Deploy Hybrid Workloads
Deploy Hybrid Workloads
Druva includes Druva Cloud and multiple instances of Hybrid Workloads agents. Druva Cloud is the server component in the cloud and is managed by Druva, while the Hybrid Workloads agent is the client component you need to install on each server you want to back up. Hybrid Workloads agent communicates with Druva Cloud to initiate scheduled backups and restores. Druva Cloud acknowledges the agent requests and assigns the request to storage within the cloud.
