After entering access credentials, the folders on the server become available. Click the
appropriate folder on the server.
You can access the server as an anonymous user if the server enables such access. To do so, click
Use anonymous access instead of entering credentials.

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 export data to 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.

If the console is connected to the management server and a managed vault is selected as a source
location, the folder tree contains:

Local folders group to export data onto the hard drives that are local to the storage node.

Network folders group to export data to a network share. If the network share requires access
credentials, the program will ask for them.

2. Using the archives table

To assist you with choosing the right destination, the table on the right displays the names of the
archives contained in each location you select in the tree.

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.

3. Naming the new archive

By default, the exported archive inherits the name of the original archive. Because having multiple
archives of the same names in the same location is not advisable, the following actions are disabled
with the default archive name:

Exporting part of an archive to the same location.

Exporting an archive or part of an archive to a location where an archive of the same name
exists.

Exporting an archive or part of an archive to the same location twice.

In any of the above cases, provide an archive name that is unique to the destination folder or vault. If
you need to redo the export using the same archive name, first delete the archive that resulted from
the previous export operation.

8.2.5 Access credentials for destination
