The Offsite Servers page safely and securely transfers backup images from a LAN to a remote location. Offsite replication transfers all changes to files and sub-directories in the Local Server directory to a specified offsite server directory. File transfers are scheduled using Schedule Transfer. Image Location directories should be defined as subdirectories of a Local Server directory to be included in these transfers.
Note: See Offsite Replication.
Create
Click Create to create an offsite server using the options previously selected.
<Select Machine ID>
Select the machine ID you want to act as the offsite server.
Name/IP
Enter the IP DNS name or IP address of the offsite server.
Port
Enter an unused port number.
Full path to directory (UNC or local) which receives all data transfers
Enter the full path to the directory, either UNC or local, which receives all data transfers. Do not specify an offsite server directory using a mapped drive. When specifying a UNC path to a share accessed by an agent machine—for example \\machinename\share
—ensure the share's permissions allow read/write access using the credential specified for that agent machine in Agent > Set Credential.
Keep only one backup set per agent
If checked, only one backup set is stored on the offsite server per backup agent, regardless of how many sets are saved by the client. If unchecked, all sets specified using the Save last <N> backup sets option on the Schedule Volumes or Schedule Folders pages are stored on the offsite server.
