How to Add a New Destination in the Backup Client - SAFE Backup

When creating a new backup set or editing an existing one, you may want to add a new destination to store the backup in. Login to the backup client and select "Backup Sets".


Then select the backup set you wish to edit.

Select "Destination" in the list on the left. Here you will be able to add a new destination (press add), or edit the current one (double click on it).


You can send it to our CBS server to to a local drive on the PC.


If you select "Local / Mapped Drive / Removable Drive" you will need to add the path via "change". Once done press "Test" and the backup client will ensure it can access this location. Press "Ok" on the bottom right when you have done this and press "Save" on the "Destination" page to save the changes you have made.

PLEASE NOTE: You can also do this when creating a new backup set.
