-===== What is the different between destination type '​Single Storage Destination'​ and '​Destination Pool'? ​===== +===== Issues ​=====
-The main difference between them are mainly on the number of storage location that they consist of.+
  
-==== Single storage destination ==== +  ​* [[public:5101_unable_to_do_offsite_backup_error_initializing_bptree|Unable ​to do Offsite ​backup (Error initializing bptree)]] 
-This type of backup destination consists of a single storage location. &​nbsp;​Backup data from backup jobs performed after creation of the destination will be stored in this single storage location. +  * [[public:5143_issue:backup_data_on_single_storage_destination_is_not_restorable_after_converting_destination_into_part_of_a_destination_pool|Backup data on Single Storage Destination is not restorable after converting ​destination ​into part of a Destination Pool]] 
- +  * [[public:5153_issue:index_file_for_destination_of_backup_set_is_found_to_be_corrupted_user_prompted_to_delete_all_data_when_performing_data_integrity_check|Index file for destination of backup set is found to be corrupted ​(User prompted ​to delete all data when performing data integrity check)]] 
-For example: +  * [[public:5160_issue:​incorrect_destination_type_pre-v7_displayed_for_missed_backup_job_backup_set_with_version_7_destination|Incorrect destination type Pre-v7 displayed for missed ​backup job (backup ​set with version 7 destination)]]
- +
-{{public:​5026_0.png}} +
- +
-In the above example, backup data will be uploaded to the Google Drive storage configured.  +
- +
-==== Destination pool  ==== +
-This type of backup destination consists of multiple storage locations. &​nbsp;​Backup data from backup jobs performed after creation of the pool will be stored across the multiple storage locations. +
-<WRAP prewrap>​ +
-<​code>​ +
-**Note:** +
-It is recommended that the storage added to a single destination pool are of the same type. +
-</​code>​ +
-</​WRAP>​ +
- +
-For example, all storage being cloud storage locations, or local drives. +
- +
-Do not use mixture of different storage types in a single destination pool (e.g. local drive and cloud storage in the same pool). +
- +
-For example: +
- +
-{{public:5026_1.png}} +
- +
-In the above example, backup data will first be uploaded ​to the OneDrive storage configured. +
- +
-When the OneDrive storage (e.g. first storage location in the list) is full, or when the backup ​quota configured for that storage is reached, backup data will continue to be stored to the Dropbox storage ​(e.g. next storage location in the list). +
- +
-Note that you can add additional storage locations to a destination pool at any given time, but once a storage location is added to a destination pool, it cannot be edited (except for its name) or removed. &​nbsp;​To remove the storage, the entire destination pool must be deleted. +
-<WRAP prewrap>​ +
-<​code>​ +
-**Note:** +
-CBS cannot be set as a storage location for a destination pool. +
-</​code>​ +
-</​WRAP>​ +
- +
-===== Can I backup to multiple Backup Destinations with a single backup set? ===== +
-Yes! Multiple backup destinations can be configured in a backup set. Refer to the following steps for configuration details: +
- +
-  * Login to the AhsayOBM / ACB user interface. +
-  * Select the '​Backup Sets' tile, then the corresponding backup set: +
- +
-{{public:5026_2.png}} +
- +
-  * Select '​Destination',​ then click '​Add'​ to add the additional backup destination. +
- +
-{{public:5026_3.png}} +
- +
-  * Enter the information requested ​on screen, and '​OK'​ when complete. +
- +
-{{public:​5026_4.png}} +
- +
-  * Click '​Add'​ again to add the next backup ​destination ​as required. +
-  * Continue with the same process until all destinations are added, then click '​Save'​ at the end when complete. +
-===== For backup set with multiple Backup Destinations,​ how to choose which destination to backup to? ===== +
-You can choose which destination to backup do within the backup client user interface. +
- +
-  * In the AhsayOBM / ACB user interface, select the '​Backup'​ tile, then the corresponding backup set: +
- +
-{{public:5026_5.png}} +
- +
-  * Click on 'Show advanced option'​ +
-  * Select the destinations that you would like to backup to, then click '​Backup'​ to start the backup job. +
- +
-{{public:5026_6.png}} +
- +
-<WRAP prewrap>​ +
-<​code>​ +
-**Note:** +
-You can only choose which destination to backup to for a manually started backup job. +
-Scheduled backup job will always backup to all backup destinations configured for the backup set. +
-</​code>​ +
-</​WRAP>​ +
- +
-===== What is the different between backup mode '​Sequential'​ and '​Concurrent'?​ ===== +
-The main different between them are how backup data are uploaded to the backup destinations. +
- +
-==== Sequential ==== +
-The backup job will upload the backup data to the selected backup ​destination ​one by one (e.g. sequentially). Data will be first uploaded to the first backup destination in the list (list in the destination setting ​of the backup set), and once that is completed, data will be uploaded ​to the next backup destination. +
- +
-For example (both backup destinations are selected for the backup): +
- +
-{{public:​5026_7.png}} +
- +
-In the above example, data will first be uploaded to the OBS backup destination. When the upload is completed, data will be uploaded to the Local Drive backup destination. +
- +
-Backup job in sequential mode is slower ​(in comparison ​to concurrent mode), but will take less resources (e.g. memory, CPU, bandwidth ... etc.) of the client computer to complete. +
- +
-==== Concurrent ==== +
-The backup job will upload the backup ​data to the selected backup destination at the same time (e.g. concurrently). +
- +
-For example (both backup destinations are selected for the backup): +
- +
-{{public:5026_8.png}} +
- +
-In the above example, data will be uploaded to the OBS and Local Drive backup ​destination at the same time. +
- +
-Backup ​job in concurrent mode is faster ​(in comparison to sequential mode), but will take up more resources (e.g. memory, CPU, bandwidth ... etc.) of the client computer to complete. +
- +
-You can configure the maximum number of concurrent ​backup destination. +
