:alt: Create a data store
|

|
|
||||||
|
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>`).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Alternatively you can create a new datastore from the command line. The
|
||||||
|
following command creates a new datastore called ``store1`` on :file:`/backup/disk1/store1`
