Backup Administration for Microsoft 365 documentation – version Orion

The Disk storage type is used to store the binaries on a single local or remote disk. If this storage type is selected, the user must fill in the Path (the target destination for the binaries) and enter credentials (if required) by enabling the Use explicit credentials option.
Additionally, you can configure the following options in this window:

1. Compression – enable this option to compress files larger than the defined size to reduce storage space usage.
2. SnapLock – use this function to prevent the deletion of files until the specified retention expires.
3. Use single instancing – enable this option to keep only one copy of a physical file in the storage; useful for scenarios like files in multiple folders, or SharePoint list items with the same attachments where only the metadata changes.
4. Use file encryption – enhance storage security storing files in encrypted form on the disk storage. Ensure the encryption key is stored securely to prevent file unreadability in case of database failure. Download the key by clicking on the Download link in this section.

We advise verifying the connection using the Test storage button. After finishing the configuration, press the Save button to save changes, or click Cancel if you do not wish to save the changes.
