pausing protection), and more.

Repository Select the repository on the AppAssure 5 Core in which the data from this
machine should be stored.

on this machine to be stored in the repository.
NOTE: The encryption settings for a repository are defined under the
Configuration tab in the AppAssure 5 Core Console.
