Backup Settings

Externally mounted backup/restore media locations can be configured here.

Only local host mount-points/locations are supported. Though these mount-points can be remotely attached (eg: NFS, etc.). Backup/restore performance may be impacted when using network-attached/remote-accessed storage locations, depending upon the network bandwidth available.
Figure 1. Backup External Media configuration


Note:
Any changes made to external backup media may not be reflected in the Backup/Restore history pages and may also result in file verification scanning being performed on the new or changed storage media location. Which, depending upon the size of the backup media and the location, may take some time to complete. Access to the backup/restore file lists and media will be temporarily disabled until this verification scan is completed.
