4.5.5 Configuring Backup Locations

To display a full list of backup locations, click Configure Backup Locations.

To edit limitations for a backup location, select the backup location, click on Quotas and
Time Limits above the list and enter the new values in the appearing window.
To move a backup location along with all archives existing on it, select the backup location
and click Move to. The Move Backup Location Wizard will display all users and
computers associated with the selected backup location so you could make sure your choice
is right. Then select the new location for the archives.
As moving files may take a lot of time and system resources, it is recommended that you
schedule this operation for the time when the backup server computing load will be minimal.
You can do it in the Start Parameters window. To complete configuring the operation, click
Finish in the final summary window.

To move a backup location within the same device, you must have at least as much free

space on the device as all the archives in the backup location occupy, because the archives

will first be copied to the new place, and then deleted from the old place.

Cleaning a backup location will delete all archives stored in this location. The operation is
performed through a prompt.
Deleting a backup location will delete all archives stored in this location and redirect the
associated computer/user’s backups to the default backup location. The operation is
performed through a prompt.

The default backup location cannot be deleted. If you try to do so, the program will clean

the default backup location and issue an appropriate message. To delete the location

completely, first reassign the default backup location by selecting Specify Default

Settings -> Set backup location.

Cleaning and deleting backup locations might be time-consuming operations, so you can
schedule them for the off-peak period.
