    2. Click **Connect**.

    3. Select a service:

       * if you plan to use a large number of backup agents, select the **Cyber Backup Cloud (Repository) Storage of backups** service in the required region – agent licenses will be unlimited, and the repository space will be billed;
       * if the number of agents is small, select the **Cyber Backup Cloud (Devices)** service for the required device — each license and storage volume will be billed. The storage price will be lower than for the **Cyber Backup Cloud (Repository)**.

    4. If you selected the **Cyber Backup Cloud (Repository) Storage of backups** service, specify the storage volume.

    5. If you selected the **Cyber Backup Cloud (Devices)** service for the required device:
