Converting a backup
When you convert a Local-only backup to an Online backup:
• All backed up data in the Local-only path is copied to the DS-System.
• The backup type is changed from Local-only to Online.
• The backup continues to save a copy of the data locally in the local storage path.
• The number of generations that remain in local storage depends on the retention settings of the backup. For more information, see
“Local Storage Tool”.
NOTE: The conversion process from Local-only to Online is irreversible once the data has been completely copied to the DS-System online storage.
To convert a backup:
1. Click the Backup Sets tab.
2. Select the Local-only backup you want to convert.
3. On the Sets menu, point to Backup Sets, and then click Convert.
4. When prompted to confirm that you want to convert the backup, click Yes. The backup cannot back up new data until the conversion process is either completed or canceled.
