Change storage pool assigned to a user
inSync Private Cloud Editions:
Elite
Enterprise


Overview
While you create a user, you can map the user to a storage pool. Data from that user's devices is backed up to one of the storage in the storage pool. You can change the storage pool for a user at any time. After you change a user's storage pool:
- User data is backed up to the preferred storage, or one of the storage, in the new storage pool.
- Snapshots on the old storage are retained and compacted, following the retention policy.
- The user can restore data from any snapshot, even those available on the old storage.
Note:
- You can change storage pool assigned to a user only if inSync Share is deactivated for the user.
- You cannot map users to a storage pool to which they were assigned earlier.
Before you begin
Before you change the storage pool assigned to a user, ensure that your users have inSync 5.2 or later or inSync mobile App 3.3 or later installed on their devices.
Procedure
To change the storage pool assigned to users
- On the inSync Master Management Console menu bar, click Users.
- Click the users for whom you want to change the storage.
- Click More > Change Storage.
- In the Select Storage list, click the new storage pool.
- If you want to assign a preferred storage from the pool, click the preferred storage.
- Click Save.
Note: After changing the storage assigned to a user, inSync performs a full backup for the first backup. Thereafter, inSync performs incremental backups.
