Modifying Repository Settings

After you add a repository, you can modify the repository settings such as the description or the maximum concurrent
operations. You can also add a new storage location for the repository.
To modify repository settings:
Description
Set the size or capacity for the storage location. The default is 250 MB. You can choose
from the following:
– MB
– GB
– TB
NOTE: The size that you specify cannot exceed the size of the volume.
The write caching policy controls how the Windows Cache Manager is used in the
repository and helps to tune the repository for optimal performance on different
configurations.
Set the value to one of the following:
– On
– Off
– Sync
If set to On, which is the default, Windows controls the caching.
NOTE: Setting the write caching policy to On could result in faster performance;
however, the recommended setting is Off.
If set to Off, AppAssure 5 controls the caching.
If set to Sync, Windows controls the caching as well as the synchronous input/output.
Specify the number of bytes you want each sector to include. The default value is 512.
Specify the average number of bytes per record. The default value is 8192.
