Working with the AppAssure 5 Core | 37
When you create a repository, the Core pre-allocates the space required for storing
data and metadata in the specified location. You can create up to 255 independent
repositories on a single core. To further increase the size of a single repository, you
can add new storage locations or volumes.
Managing a repository involves creating, configuring, and viewing a repository and
includes the following operations:
 Access the Core Console. For more information on how to access the AppAssure
5 Core Console, see “Accessing the AppAssure 5 Core Console” on page 30.
