Configure Storage Location

This section describes the different Storage Locations that can be configured in .

Global Backup Data Storage Location

While installing you can specify the backup storage location to be used by . will use this location as the Storage location for all the clients and its internal database. You can modify this storage location from the "Server Settings" UI page. But note that modifying the "server settings" page will not change the existing clients' backup storage location.

Group Based Storage Location

Each Group in can be configured with a different backup location. By default all groups will use the same location as the "Global Backup Data Storage Location". When a new group is created in you can provide new storage location for the group. You can edit the existing Storage Location for the group by going to the "Edit Group Configuration" UI page. Note that if you modify the group storage location, it will not change the existing clients' backup storage location. It will take effect only for the new clients backing up under the group.

Client Based Storage Location

In , each client under a group can be configured with a different backup location. By default all clients will use the same location as the Global Backup Data Storage Location. If a client is created manually, then you can provide a different backup location for the client. But you will never have to create a client manually in . Clients are created under a group automatically when the client backs up first time. So the clients will automatically use the Storage location configured globally for the Server. You can edit the backup location of the client using Edit Client Configuration. After update of the backup location the new backup schedules will backup to the newer location and the existing backup schedules will continue to backup to the older backup location. While editing backup data storage location in the client, you can choose to move the existing backup data to the newer location. Please note that, copying data in is a little bit time-consuming and if you have large chunks of data to be moved, we recommend doing the change manually.
