Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What types of storage paths can I add in Hasleo Backup Suite?

A: You can add local paths (such as hard drives, USB drives) and network shared paths (SMB/CIFS) as storage paths for backup sources and destinations.

Q: Do I need to enter credentials for network shared paths?

A: Yes. When adding a network shared path, you'll need to enter the username and password to authenticate and access the shared folder.

Q: Can I edit a storage path after adding it?

A: Yes. Click the "Actions" menu next to the path and select "Edit" to modify the path settings, including the path location and credentials.

Q: What happens to existing backups if I delete a storage path?

A: Deleting a storage path only removes it from Hasleo Backup Suite's management list—it does not delete any existing backup files stored there.

Q: How many storage paths can I add?

A: There's no strict limit. You can add as many storage paths as needed, but keep in mind that too many paths may make management more complex.

Q: Can I use the same path for both backup source and destination?

A: Yes. Once a path is added to Storage Path Management, it can be used as either a backup source, destination, or both depending on your backup configuration.

Q: What should I do if the network path is not accessible?

A: Verify that the network share is accessible and credentials are correct. Also ensure the network connection is stable and you have proper permissions to access the shared folder.

Q: Can I add storage paths from different network locations?

A: Yes. You can add storage paths from multiple network locations, each with its own credentials if needed.
