Volumes

In [CDP Enterprise Edition|CDP3:Enterprise Edition], [Disk Safes|CDP3:Disk Safes] can be kept in containers on the Backup System called *Volumes*. Volumes are helpful If you are a service provider using CDP Enterprise Edition and your customers log on to the CDP Web interface to manage their own data protection.

Volume is a storage of one or more Disk Safes with a common Quota and assigned User(s)/Group(s). A Volume can keep replications of several Agents.

On a physical level, a Volume is simply a "home" directory for your customer's Disk Safe(s). It allows you to define the location of your customers' Disk Safes while hiding the actual storage path. You can also put a quota on a Volume to control how much Disk Space your customers can use.
