Configure jobs with the Local directory upload type

1. Create a job with the Local directory upload type.

2. Under Local directory settings, enter the path of the data you want to back up.

   The path is accessed via the VDog MasterService or the agent service. These services must have the necessary access rights.

3. Under Advanced, you can reduce the network load caused by the job by increasing the Sleep interval between data packets and reducing the Maximum size of data packets.

   Higher values for the waiting time and lower values for the maximum packet size mean that the job execution takes more time.

4. Select the Upload only when timestamp is different (reduces network load) checkbox to ensure that the timestamp instead of the content of the files is checked during the upload. This means that only new and edited files are uploaded for a backup. Files without changes are transferred from the previous backup, which further limits the network load.
