Profile archive backups

The location configured through this setting is used by FlexEngine to store profile archive backups.

It is recommended to use a generic path which is specific for each user (e.g. \\Filesrv\DemUsers$\%username%\Backups). If you specify a subdirectory that does not exist, FlexEngine will automatically create it at the first backup action for each user.

Enable 'Hide backup folder' to automatically mark the profile archive backup folder as hidden.

The default number of backups for each profile archive is 1. You can configure any number of backups. Please be aware of the additional storage this will claim in the configured profile archive backup path.
NOTE: This setting can be overridden in Flex config files.

If the 'Create single backup per day' setting is enabled, the configured number of backups is interpreted as the number of days to keep backups for.

Supported on: At least Microsoft Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2
