Local-only backup sets
Local-Only backup sets must be enabled by your service provider from DS-System. These are the same as Self-Contained backup sets but without the restrictions on the number of sets or capacity. Local-Only backup sets have the following features and limitations:
• Platforms: DS-Client running on Windows / Linux / Mac
• Data is stored locally at customer site (local disk or UNC path)
• Data stored is compressed; however, no master/delta processing is applied.
• The total amount of Local-Only storage is allocated from DS-System in GB. You can verify the allocated amount in the DS-Client Local-Only Storage Quota section of the View Quotas dialog box (On the Setup menu, click View Quotas).
IMPORTANT:  There must be enough capacity available in the Local Storage Path to accommodate the total amount of Local-Only capacity licensed.
• To convert a Local-Only backup set to an Online backup set, see “Converting a backup set”.
• Local-Only backup set data is protected from accidental or inadvertent deletion by a Safe Delete mechanism. See “Deleting local-only backup set data”.
IMPORTANT:  Before creating a Local-Only backup set, you must configure the Local Storage Path. (On the Setup menu, click Configuration and then click Parameters. Beside the Local Storage Path box, click >> to browse and select the path. Click OK or Apply to save the setting.)
To create a local-only backup set:
1. Configure the backup set in the New Backup Set Wizard.
2. On the Choose the name for this backup set page, in the Set Type box, select Local-Only.
3. Click Finish.
