Disk Drive should be chosen if you want to use a locally attached hard disk. This option will create a storage location at the root of the disk you select on the Add Storage screen. Choose a disk, then click the "OK" button.


If there are storage locations already on this disk (perhaps from a previous installation of this software) you can reattach by choosing the "Use existing" option and selecting a storage location from the drop-down list. See Use Existing Storage for more information. If no storage locations exist on the volume, this option will be disabled.


To add a new storage location, choose "Add new", enter a descriptive name for your new storage location, then click "OK". After the storage location has been added it will show up in the list of available storage locations shown on the Storage page, and on the Storage tab when creating or editing a protection plan.


A new storage location will automatically be "prepared" the first time it is used by a protection plan. This creates the file and folder structure used by the software to store and track your protected data.
