To export data to 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.

Note for Linux users: To specify a Common Internet File System (CIFS) network share which is mounted on a
mount point such as /mnt/share, select this mount point instead of the network share itself.

To export data to an FTP or SFTP server, type the server name or address in the Path field as
follows:
ftp://ftp_server:port _number or sftp://sftp_server:port number
If the port number is not specified, port 21 is used for FTP and port 22 is used for SFTP.
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.

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

Specify credentials required for access to the location where the resulting archive will be stored. The
user whose name is specified will be considered as the archive owner.

To specify credentials

1. Select one of the following:

Use the current user credentials
