From a store property page you can control data retention settings, sharing and bandwidth throttling.


  • Expiration


The default setting is to retain archived data indefinitely. This setting can be overridden from the Expiration tab of the store property page by changing the selected radio button from Infinite Retention to Number of days to keep restore points. Choose the number of days you want to retain archived data and optionally change the Minimum number of restore points to keep value. The default setting is to keep ten restore points regardless of age. You can increase or decrease this setting, but the software will always keep at least one restore point.


The store expiration settings will have no effect until a Create Store Expiration Task is created and run, at which time the software scans the store for restore points older than the retention days setting. Restore points older than the retention days setting, excluding the minimum number to keep, are moved to the Recycle Bin of the store. A catalog for a restore point remains in the recycle bin until it is either restored back to the original archive via the Restore action or it is deleted by running the store purge task.


Note: Individual archives have their own properties page where you can override the store expiration settings. Refer to Archives for more information.

See Store Expiration and Store Purge for more information.


  • Sharing


Protection plans for remote computers archive the files to a store through a shared folder. You can edit the share settings and create additional shares from the Sharing tab on the store property page.


If there is more than one share for the store, you can select which one a remote computer protection plan uses when you are creating the plan on the Select a Destination page of the protection plan wizard. Existing remote computer protection plans can be changed to use a different share by clicking the Plan Settings action and then clicking the Change button of the Settings tab.


  • Bandwidth


You can control bandwidth utilization from the Bandwidth tab on the store property page.


To enable and configure bandwidth throttling for a remote computer, click Add, then enter the computer name or IP address of the remote computer. In the Bandwidth Throttling window, check Enable bandwidth throttling, then adjust the speed, date and time settings.


Click Apply to save your settings , then click Add to add another computer, or just click OK to save your settings and close the store property page.
