temporarily disable (p. 111) schedules of the given plans.
2. Move the vault folder with all its archives to a new place manually by means of a third-party file
manager.

How can I merge two vaults?
Suppose you have two vaults A and B in use. Both vaults are used by backup plans. You decide to
leave only vault B, moving all the archives from vault A there.
To do this, proceed as follows
1. Make sure that none of the backup plans uses vault A while merging, or temporarily disable (p.
111) schedules of the given plans.
