About the backup destination folders
Creating a Home Server backup profile on the Home Server Settings Page creates the backup folder with the
name, “HomeServer - [MAC-ADDRESS],” on the USB hard disk drive. Starting the Home Server backup
process will create another folder with the name, which you specified in the Home Server backup profile, within
the backup folder and make a backup copy of the backup source folder.

– Create Home Server backup profiles.
– View Home Server backup profiles.
