ATTENTION 1st January, 2022: v7 officially End-of-Life [details] ===== Description ===== This article contains instruction on how to add additional user storage (i.e. User Home) for AhsayCBS.

===== Steps ===== To add more storage for user backup data on AhsayCBS, you can install additional hard disk(s) (or connect to a network drive), then add the new directory / UNC path of the new location to the user home setting under the AhsayCBS web console.

  1. Login to the AhsayCBS web console.

  2. Select Basic under Backup / Restore .


  3. Select the User Home tab.

  4. Create a new User Home by clicking Create (circular + button), under User Home .


  5. Enter the directory / UNC path to the new storage location under Home Directory .


    Note : For User Home set to a network drive, it is recommended to enter an UNC path (e.g. \\hostname\shared_path) instead of a mapped drive letter.

    Enable the Password protected network drive option, if the new User Home is set to a network drive. Enter the Login Name and Password of a user with sufficient permission to access the network storage, to allow AhsayCBS access.

  6. Modify the Maximum QPS Ratio setting if necessary, then click Add .

  7. Click Save to save the changes.
