Copy backup files to a storage location
Copying backups to a storage location guarantees that the backup files are available if the data on the server on which they were created is lost.
We recommend copying the backup file to a safe location, for example, to removable media or another host.
The backup files are compressed to .zip files (unencrypted backups) or .enc files (encrypted backups) and they can also be decompressed manually if needed. If necessary, the backups are split into several files to fit the maximum file size. Each backup has its own subdirectory.
On the SMC Appliance, backup files can be automatically stored in a remote location through a CIFS share.
