Editing an Offsite Backup Repository
You edit the repositories from the Repositories tab.
To edit an offsite backup repository:
1. In the Zerto User Interface, click SETUP > REPOSITORIES.
2. Select the repository to edit and click the edit, pencil, icon.
The Edit Repository dialog is displayed.
Edit any of the following settings:
Repository Name – Specify a unique name for the repository.
Repository Type – Either specify that the repository resides on a local or shared network disk, using the SMB protocol, accessible from the recovery site. If the repository location is a network drive, this drive can be mounted to third party storage, such as Amazon Web Services, AWS.
Username – Username to access the Network Share drive. The name can be entered using either of the following formats:
■ username
■ domain\username
This field is not displayed when the type is Local.
Password – Password to access the Network Share drive. This field is not displayed when the type is Local.
Path – The path from the recovery site where the repository will reside. The path must be accessible from the Zerto Virtual Manager, so if the repository is on a different domain to the Zerto Virtual Manager, the domain must be included in the path.
Enable compression – Check this option to compress backups stored in the repository. Compression is done using zip compression, set to level six. If you want better compression, which requires more CPU, or less compression to reduce the CPU overhead, contact Zerto support.
Note: Compression usually reduces the effectiveness of deduplication on stored data. If the backup repository resides on a deduplication-enabled storage appliance, it is recommended that the data be stored uncompressed.
Note: Backup to TntDrive with compression enabled is not supported.
Set as default repository– Check if you want the repository to be used as the default when specifying extended recovery in a VPG.
3. Click VALIDATE.You must validate the path specified. If the folder does not exist, you are asked if you want to create it.
4. Click SAVE.
The updated definition of the repository is saved.
