Selecting a storage location
Consider the following storage type details when choosing a storage location for your backups.
- Storage Type
- Details
- Shared Folder
If you store your backup in a remote shared folder, your backup is overwritten each time you create a new backup. Do not select this option if you want to store a series of backups.
If the backup process fails while you are trying to create a backup to a shared folder that already contains a backup, you might be left without any backups. To work around this, you can create subfolders in the shared folder to store your backups.
- DVD, other optical media, or removable media
If you store your backup on optical or removable media, you can only recover entire volumes, not applications or individual files. In addition, backing up to media that has less than 1 GB of free disk space is not supported.
- Local hard disk
- If you store your backup on an internal hard disk, you can:
- Recover files, folders, applications, and volumes.
- Perform system state and operating system recoveries if the backup used contains all the critical volumes.
Also, the local disk you select is dedicated for storing your scheduled backups and is not visible in Windows Explorer.
- External hard disk
- If you store your backup on an external hard disk, you can:
- Recover files, folders, applications, and volumes.
- Perform system state and operating system recoveries if the backup used contains all the critical volumes.
- Easily move backups offsite for disaster protection.
using external hard disks allows you to move disks offsite for disaster protection and ensure backup integrity.
