About managing recovery point destinations

You can define destinations where you want to store recovery points that managed computers create.

By defining recovery point destinations separate from backup policies and computers, you can see how many computers have backed up to a given destination. You can view this information in the Destination Web Part, on the Home page. You can also optimize the network load balance during a backup.

When you specify a local folder path as a recovery point destination, the path corresponds to the drive that is found on the client computer. It is not the path on the computer where the Symantec Management Console runs.

See Creating default recovery point destinations.

You can change an existing recovery point destination's network credentials. The change takes effect when the existing connection on the client computer is closed (usually by restarting).

To edit the destination path, you must define a new destination.

See Editing network credentials for a recovery point destination.

You can delete previously-defined destinations no longer used.

See Deleting recovery point destinations.

You can also assign a computer the task of copying recovery point sets from a recovery point destination to an Offsite Copy destination.

See Configuring a Dedicated Offsite Copy task.
