Click the "+" icon to add a new Storage Vault and choose "Custom" for the type of Vault.
Give the Vault a name that will help you identify it later, click "Next" when done.
Click the "+" button to choose a location for the Storage Vault and select "Local Path". Click OK when done.
Click the "Browse" button and locate the hard drive that will be used for the Seed load backup. Click Next when done.
Click Next again to skip pas the backup pre-commands and complete the new Vault wizard.
You should now have a new, unitialized Local Vault. This vault will be used for the seed load backup.
Create a new Protected item for your seed load backup. You can select any type of Protected Item from the list.
Select the items you want incldued in the backup.

Our team will advise you when it is safe to begin scheduled backup jobs.
