Creating or Editing Backup Folders

You can create a backup folder for a user, or edit an existing folder.

To create or edit a backup folder:

1. Select Folders > Backup Folders in the navigation pane.
   The BACKUP FOLDERS page opens, displaying all backup folders.
   

2. Either,

   • Create a new folder, click New Folder.
     The New Backup Folder window is displayed.
     

   Or,

   • Edit an existing folder, click the folder's name.
     The folder window is displayed with the folder name as the window title.

3. Complete the fields:
   Folder Name – A name for the folder.
   Owner – The user to own the folder. The owner controls access to the folder.
   Folder Group – A folder group for the folder. The drop-down list only displays the folders for the selected owner.
   Backup Extended Attributes – Back up special file permissions and metadata. This is supported for XFS/EXT3/NEXT3 target volumes.

4. Click SAVE.
