Configuring FileStore settings

The FileStore option helps you to save disk space on system (C:) drive.

The configurable FileStore feature helps the user to save disk space on the System Hard Disk. The default file location for the FileStore is C:\Users\<User Name>\AppData\Local\RepositoryManager\FileStore. However, the FileStore can be moved to a different location after DRM is installed on the system.

This feature allows you to move the FileStore folder from the default drive to another location in the same drive, another drive, or another system on the network. 

  1. In the Dell Repository Manager window, click Application > Settings > FileStore . The FileStore window is displayed.
  2. In the FileStore window, click Browse if you want to save the FileStore to another location on the same drive, another drive, or another computer on your network. By default, DRM creates the FileStore under C:\Users\<User Name>\AppData\Local\RepositoryManager\FileStore .
  3. Once you Select New FileStore Location click Open. If you choose to save the file store to a new location, ensure that:
    • The destination folder is blank.
    • The destination folder is not the same as the source folder.
    • You have write permission on the destination folder.
    • One of the parent folders is not in use as a FileStore.
    • NOTE: Ensure that there are no running or queued jobs in the Jobs Queue. While moving the FileStore, DRM will not be able to perform any other operations.
    • NOTE: The Used Size: field provides the details of the FileStore size. The Available: field provides the details of the available blank space of the system (by default DRM creates the FileStore at C) drive. The Use Default button is enabled when another location is selected to store the FileStore.
  4. Click Ok to move the FileStore, or click Cancel to exit without making any changes. If you select Ok, a warning appears for further confirmation. The action will permanently delete following folder and its contents. Dell Repository Manager cannot recover deleted files. Are you sure you want to continue?
  5. Click Yes to confirm, or No to exit making any changes. If you select Yes, the Moving to new FileStore location... window appears while moving the FileStore. FileStore moved successfully. message appears once the FileStore is moved to the new location. The operation cannot be canceled during this phase.
  6. Click OK to exit the Settings window.
  7. Click Cleanup to start deleting the unused files, or click Cancel to exit. FileStore Cleanup helps you to remove any unused cached files from FileStore location. It takes a while to complete this process, and the window remains unresponsive during this time. If you cancel the operation in between, you may lose the data and DRM does not have the option to get those deleted files back. The FileStore window displays the confirmation message: Cleanup of FileStore <FileStore Location> has been completed successfully .
