### Containers Backup Settings

You can make the following settings for Containers backups creation at your Hardware Nodes:

The default settings for all Hardware Nodes (these settings can be overridden with the per Hardware Node settings):

- Define particular directory on the Hardware Node to store backups (both default and per Hardware Node);
- Define maximal backup size(both default and per Hardware Node).

Settings per Hardware Node:

- Allow or deny creation of backups on a Hardware Node and if backups are allowed;
  - Define the directory to store backups on a Hardware Node;
  - Define the maximal backup size for a given Hardware Node.
  - Define the conditions of storing backups for Containers hosted on a given Hardware Node

To make the default settings for Containers backups creation:

1. Select Service Director - Virtuozzo Manager - Setup - Nodes Backup Settings tab.
2. The list of Hardware Nodes that appears displays the following:

- ID (Hardware Node numeric identifier) and Name (Hardware Node friendly name);
- Node hostname;
- Whether backups allowed (green tick if yes, red cross if not);
- The number of backups stored;
- Memory used for backups;
- Free memory on the Hardware Node;
- Target - in the case if backup should be stored on another Hardware Node (this is the "Target" Hardware Node).

1. Click the Settings per Hardware Node tab.
2. Click on the Hardware Node name. The conditions of Container backups creation for the Hardware Node selected appears on the screen.
3. Click the Edit button.
4. Change the Container backup settings:
   - You can allow the backups creation at this Hardware Node by checking the Allow to store backups at this hardware node checkbox.

     Note: You can change the conditions for Container backups creation only if backups creation is allowed.

   - Type the directory to store backups at the selected Hardware Node into the Directory to store backups field.
   - Select the backup size unit from the drop-down menu and type the total maximal backups size allowed for the selected Hardware Node into the Maximal size of all backups textbox.
   - You can define the conditions of creation and storing of backups for Containers hosted at this Hardware Node. Set the option button to one of the following:

     Creation of Container backup is not allowed to disallow creation of backups for Containers hosted at the Hardware Node selected.

     Store Container backups at this hardware node to store backups of Containers hosted at this Hardware Node at Hardware Node selected.

     Store Container backups at another hardware node, click the Select button and chose the target Hardware Node to store backups of Containers hosted at the Hardware Node selected.

5. Click the Update button.
