This article provides instructions on how to integrate Backup Radar to ScalePad.

Prerequisites

Before proceeding with the integration, please ensure the following requirements are met:

  • Manage Integrations Permission: Verify that the Manage integrations permission is enabled for your ScalePad Hub account.
  • Administrator Credentials: Confirm that you have Administrator user credentials for your Backup Radar account.
Note: 
API credential generation - Only Backup Radar administrator users can generate API keys while logged into Backup Radar; users without administrative rights are not permitted to generate API keys.

Integration steps in Backup Radar

Activate API

  1. Sign in to Backup Radar as an Administrator

  2. Within the Backup Radar menu, navigate to Settings > API Keys

     

  3. Within the API tab, click the Add API Key to generate an API Key.

  4. Once the key is generated, take note of the API key and click the Copy button.

In case you forget your API credentials, simply return to the page and copy the relevant API key. Clicking Delete API Keys revokes access altogether.

Note:

Generating multiple API keys - If you generate multiple API keys, it is important to note that all previously generated API keys remain valid, unless specifically removed.

When adding the Backup Radar integration to ScalePad, you will need to add the API Key to the Backup Radar integration page.

Integration steps in ScalePad

Add Backup Radar API key into ScalePad

  1. From ScalePad, navigate to Integrations and click the Add integration button.

  2. The Add integration page will open. Select Backup Radar.

  3. Enter your API Key into the Backup Radar add integration page

  4. Click Connect now.

Note:

API rate limits - ScalePad connects to Backup Radar through the Backup Radar API, so the integration is subject to the same API rate limits as any other API integration. If you see a message on the Integrations page about too many API requests, ScalePad retries automatically and the next sync usually completes on its own.
