To select a centralized vault (either managed or unmanaged), expand the Centralized group
and click the vault.
If you cannot access a managed vault (for example, when using bootable media), select the
Storage nodes group, enter the storage node name in the Path box (by using the format
bsp://<storage node address>/), and then click the arrow button.

To select a personal vault, expand the Personal group and click the appropriate vault.

To select a local folder on the machine, expand the Local folders group and click the required
folder.

To select a network share, expand the Network folders group, select the required networked
machine and then click the shared folder. If the network share requires access credentials,
the program will ask for them.

To select a folder stored on NFS share, expand the NFS drives group and click the folder.

To select FTP or SFTP server, expand the corresponding group and click the appropriate
folder on the server.

Note According to the original FTP specification, credentials required for access to FTP servers are
transferred through a network as plaintext. This means that the user name and password can be
intercepted by an eavesdropper using a packet sniffer.

To select a locally attached tape device, expand the Tape drives group, then click the
required device.

Note Tape devices can only be used with Acronis Backup Advanced.

To assist you with choosing the right vault, the table displays the names of the archives
contained in each vault you select. While you are reviewing the location content, archives can be
added, deleted or modified by another user or by the program itself according to scheduled
operations. Use the Refresh button to refresh the list of archives.
