4.2.4 Backup location selection
Specify where the archive will be stored.
1. Selecting the destination
In the Path field, enter the full path to the destination, or select the desired destination in the
location tree as described in "Selecting backup destinations" (p. 39).
2. Using the archives table
To assist you with choosing the right destination, the table displays the names of the archives
contained in each location you select. While you are reviewing the location content, archives can be
added, deleted or modified by another user or by the program itself according to scheduled
operations. Use the Refresh button to refresh the list of archives.
3. Naming the new archive
Once you select the archive destination, the program generates a name for the new archive and
displays it in the Name field. The name commonly looks like Archive(N), where N is a sequence
number. The generated name is unique within the selected location. If you are satisfied with the
automatically generated name, click OK. Otherwise enter another unique name.
Backing up to an existing archive
You can configure the backup plan to back up to an existing archive. To do so, select the archive in
the archives table or type the archive name in the Name field. If the archive is protected with a
password, the program will ask for it in the pop-up window.
