Create Backup Set

Set the backup destination

The backup destination is the backup storage location where your files are backed up to. The storage location can be your cloud storage, SFTP server or your local hard disk. You can select multiple storage locations to form a destination pool to expand your storage space.

  1. Concurrent backup requires more resources on your computer as the backup is running in parallel to all the selected backup storages. While the backup time of sequential backup would take longer because only one backup job is running at a time.
  2. When you are planning to set up a destination pool, it is highly recommended to set the storage on cloud or storage with redundant drive setup. If your destination pool contains storage destination with no redundant drive setup, it will increase the risk of unrecoverable data lost.
  3. It is recommended to discontinue use of Microsoft OneDrive and Microsoft OneDrive for Business in a destination pool. This is due to Microsoft limitations with their API. For more information, contact your backup service provider.
