    This is my first post and after looking through most of the backup related posts I have not seen any post related to my question.

    I recently setup a new WHS2011 and most everything I wanted it to do is working.  I set up four client computers to backup and that works well except after backing up all the clients the available local drive space on (E:) was low. I have stopped client backups for now and deleted all but one of the client backups.  When I set up the client backup I don't remember seeing any option for backup drive location. It just created the backup in my local disk  (E:) serverfolders and I thought it would backup the clients to the same USB drive I setup for the server backup.

    Is there a way to change the client computer backups folder location to a second external usb drive or can I move that folder to the external usb drive so my client backups are seperate from the server backup?

    Yes. Client Computer Backups is a folder like any other that the server maintains for you, so you can move it just like any other folder.


    I'm not on the WHS team, I just post a lot. :)

    As Ken says, move it using the Dashboard under Server Folders. Select the Client Computer Backups folder and run the "Move the Folder" in the pane on the right hand side.

    I did move it using the move option from Dashboard. However now backup wants a new drive to backup to. The new move location is not an option to select.

    Moved from D: to F:

    So now I have a folder in f:\server folders\client computers\backup

    Any ideas?

    If you are not the original poster, can you re-ask the question on a new thread and word it so that I can understand what you are asking?
