Creating a personal vault

To create a personal vault

1. In the Name field, type a name for the vault being created.
2. [Optional] In the Comments field, add a description of the vault.
3. Click Path and specify a path to the folder that will be used as the vault. A personal vault can be

organized on a network share, FTP server, detachable media, Acronis Cloud Storage, or on a hard
drive local to the machine.

4. Click OK. As a result, the created vault appears in the Personal group of the vaults tree.

Merging and moving personal vaults

What if I need to move the existing vault from one place to another?

Proceed as follows

1. Make sure that none of the backup plans uses the existing vault while moving files, or disable the

given plans. See Actions on backup plans and tasks (p. 159).

2. Move the vault folder with all its content to a new place manually by means of a third-party file

manager.

3. Create a new vault.
4. Edit the backup plans and tasks: redirect their destination to the new vault.
5. Delete the old vault.

How can I merge two vaults?

Suppose you have two vaults A and B in use. Both vaults are used by backup plans. You decide to
leave only vault B, moving all the archives from vault A there.

To do this, proceed as follows

1. Make sure that none of the backup plans uses vault A while merging, or disable the given plans.

See Actions on backup plans and tasks (p. 159).

2. Move the content of vault A folder to vault B manually by means of a third-party file manager.
3. Edit the backup plans that use vault A: redirect their destination to vault B.
4. In the vaults tree, select vault B to check whether the archives are displayed. If not, click Refresh.
5. Delete vault A.
