You can configure multiple datastores. Minimum one datastore needs to be

You can create a new datastore from the web GUI, by navigating to **Datastore** in
|
||||
the menu tree and clicking **Create**. Here:
|
||||
|
||||
* *Name* refers to the name of the datastore
|
||||
* *Backing Path* is the path to the directory upon which you want to create the
|
||||
datastore
|
||||
* *GC Schedule* refers to the time and intervals at which garbage collection
|
||||
runs
|
||||
* *Prune Schedule* refers to the frequency at which pruning takes place
|
||||
* *Prune Options* set the amount of backups which you would like to keep (see :ref:`Pruning <pruning>`).

|
