4.2.4 Backup location selection

Specify where the archive will be stored.

1. Selecting the destination

In the Path field, enter the full path to the destination, or select the desired destination in the
location tree as described in "Selecting backup destinations" (p. 40).

2. Using the archives table

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

3. Naming the new archive

Once you select the archive destination, the program generates a name for the new archive and
displays it in the Name field. The name commonly looks like Archive(N), where N is a sequence
number. The generated name is unique within the selected location. If you are satisfied with the
automatically generated name, click OK. Otherwise enter another unique name.
