Notes

To perform this procedure, you must be a member of the Administrators group on the local computer, or you must have been delegated the appropriate authority. If the computer is joined to a domain, members of the Domain Admins group might be able to perform this procedure. As a security best practice, consider using Run as to perform this procedure.
To open Remote Storage, click Start, click Control Panel, double-click Administrative Tools, and then double-click Remote Storage.
Copies of remote storage media can be created only if two or more drives are available.
You can make up to three copies of remote storage media. You should synchronize media copies with the original media (called the media master) on a regular basis to ensure no loss of data. For information on how to synchronize media copies, see Related Topics.
Reducing the number of media copies does not cause any media to be deallocated, it only limits the copy sets that Remote Storage will display and access. To deallocate the media, select all the media and then delete the media copies. For information on how to delete media copies, see Related Topics.

Your server might function differently based on the version and edition of the operating system that is installed, your account permissions, and your menu settings. For more information, see Viewing Help on the Web.
