To add backup storage and create a new device

Use this procedure to add storage and a new backup device. For best results, all backup devices should be of similar size. (To add storage to an existing device, see To expand a backup device.)

Warning: It is strongly recommended that all UEB storage is either direct attached storage (DAS, internal to the hypervisor) or resides on one external storage array. If you configure storage across multiple storage arrays and one becomes unavailable, all backup data is corrupted, resulting in total data loss.

1        Select Settings > Storage and Retention > Storage.

2        Click Add Backup Storage.

3        Choose Create a separate storage area for an alternate backup device, then click Confirm.

4        Enter a name for the storage being configured in the Storage Name field.

Note: Storage connected using the NFS, CIFS, or iSCSI protocols must not contain spaces in the name.

5        Select the storage Type and continue to the applicable procedure:

Note: If you have attached a NAS or SAN through the hypervisor, select the Added Disk type. UEB treats all storage attached through the hypervisor as internal storage.
