Backup for SharePoint 6.12 - Release Notes

Notes and Notices

Upgrade Considerations

The Metalogix Backup for SharePoint Service uses a staging location to backup SharePoint data. During installation, the default location is configured as
C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Temp\
which is insufficient for a successful backup operation. You must specify a UNC path for the staging location. For more information see the topic Upgrading Metalogix Backup for SharePoint in the Metalogix Backup for SharePoint User Guide.
