Local Storage Settings

The Local Storage step of the wizard is available if you have chosen to save the backup on a local drive of your computer.

Specify local storage settings:

1. In the panel that displays available storage locations, select a location where you want to store the backup.
2. In the Folder field, specify a path to the folder where backup files must be saved. By default, Veeam Agent saves files in the VeeamBackup folder.
3. In the Retention policy section, specify the number of restore points for Veeam Agent to store in the target location. By default, Veeam Agent keeps 7 restore points. To learn more, see Backup Retention Policy.
4. To specify the GFS retention policy, select the Keep certain full backups longer for archival purposes check box and press Configure. In the Configure GFS window, specify how weekly, monthly and yearly full backups must be retained. For details, see Specify GFS Retention Policy.

5. Click Advanced to specify advanced settings for the backup job. To learn more, see Specify Advanced Backup Settings.
