Access the File Collection Folder in the DSM Explorer

You can access the file collection folder to configure files for backup and to view the revisions of the backed up files.

To access the File Collection folder in the DSM Explorer

1. Navigate to the following paths in the DSM Explorer depending on the level at which you want to view or configure the file collection:

   Group Level

   Computer Group

   Domain, Computers and Users, All Computers, Group Details.

   User Account Group

   Domain, Computers and Users, All User Accounts, Group Details.

   User Created Group

   Domain, Computers and Users, Group, Group Details.

   Note: If you do not want a specific asset to have this configuration, you can disable it at the asset level.

   Computer Level

   Domain, Computers and Users, All Computers, Computer.

   User Level

   Domain, Computers and Users, All User Accounts, UserAccount.

   Domain Level

   Domain, Control Panel, Configuration, File Collection.

2. Navigate to the Software, File Collection folder except at the domain level.

   The files configured for backup are displayed in the right pane. Files configured at the group level are automatically configured for back up on the member assets. You can, however, disable such file collection if you do not want it to be collected from a specific asset.

Note: Configuring file collection at the user level is not of much use because the file is maintained at the computer level and copies of the file do not exist for each user.
