Configuring FileStore Settings
The FileStore option helps you to save disk space on system (C:) drive.
1. On the Dell Repository Manager window, click Application → Settings → FileStore.
The FileStore window is displayed.
2. On 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 for 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.

cannot be canceled during this phase.
6. Click OK to exit the Settings window.
