Configuring Profile Archive Backups Settings

Use this setting to configure the location where FlexEngine stores the backups of profile archives.

SettingValue
BackupPathSet a unique location to store the profile archives backups for every user. For example: \\Filesrv\DemUsers$\%username%\Backups If you enter a subdirectory that does not exist, FlexEngine creates a subdirectory when a user creates a backup for the first time.
HideBackupFolderTo enable this setting, set the value to 1. Marks the specified profile archives backup folder as hidden after a path-based export.
BackupCountSet the number of backups that you want to create for each profile archive for each user. Note: You can override this setting in the Flex configuration files by setting a different value on the Backups tab in the DEM Management Console.
BackupDailyTo enable this setting, set the value to 1. Treats the number of backups as the number of days for which to retain backups. This prevents DirectFlex from overwriting backups from the previous day or recent days.
