description: Learn how to add different types of storage resources as backup repositories

In Vinchin Backup & Recovery, storages are used for 3 objectives:

• Backup: Adding a backup storage is essential before you can create any backup jobs.

• Backup Copy: Backup copy storage is required when you want to copy your backups to a secondary storage or a remote location.

• Backup Archive: Backup archive storage, usually a more cost-effective storage media which is needed when you want to archive your VM backup data for long-term retention purpose.

The storages are added and managed from Resources > Storage > Backup Storage page of Vinchin Backup & Recovery web console.

By selecting a storage and click on Edit button, you are able to edit specific settings of the selected storage.

By selecting a storage and click on Delete button, you are able to delete this storage from Vinchin backup server or node. But if there's any existing job using this storage, it is not allowed to be deleted. Please first stop and delete the corresponding job then delete the storage.
