You can remove storage locations from this software. You might remove a storage location if you want to set the storage aside for just restoring data. This helps reduce the number of storage locations you are viewing in the Storage Status panel to just the current ones being used by your protection plans. Note that removing storage locations is an optional procedure. The storage can be used for restoring data, or used again for storing protection plans (assuming it is not full) by adding it back to the software via the "Add storage..." button.


From the Storage page, choose the storage location's "Remove" right-click menu option to remove the storage location from the software. When the Remove option is clicked a Remove Storage dialog will appear.


You must decide whether or not to delete the data on the media used by protection plans.


  • Keep the data on the media for future use


When storage is removed from the software the stored data is not removed or deleted. However, you will be unable to restore files from the removed storage location. If you want to use the storage again to archive protection plans or restore files you will need to perform an Add storage operation. See Use Existing Storage for more information.


When "Cancel" is clicked the Remove Storage dialog will close and the software will take no action.

When "Continue" is clicked, the software will remove the storage. The following actions will take place:

  • the Storage page will no longer display the storage that was removed
  • all protection plans associated with the storage will be removed from the Explore page.


  • Permanently delete the data on media


When storage is permanently deleted from the software the stored data is destroyed. You can reuse the media for new storage but you will not be able to access any old data.


When "Cancel" is clicked the Remove Storage dialog will close and the software will take no action.

When "Continue" is clicked, the software will ask for confirmation.


Click "No" to return to the Remove Storage dialog without removing the storage. Click "Yes" to remove the storage. The following actions will take place:

  • the Storage page will no longer display the storage that was removed
  • all protection plans associated with the storage will be removed from the Explore page
  • data is completely destroyed for the selected storage location.
