This section is for entering the backup directory that virtual systems selected
for this backup will be saved to. The options are :
- Default destination for host system - Each virtual system will be backed up to the directory defined on its host.
- Remote SSH server - Backups are uploaded via SCP to the non-Cloudmin-managed system whose hostname and authentication details is entered in the adjacent fields.
- Remote FTP server - Backups are uploaded via FTP to the server whose hostname and authentication details is entered in the adjacent fields.
- Amazon S3 - Backups are sent to Amazon's cloud file storage service. You must first sign up for an S3 account with Amazon before using this option.
- Rackspace Cloud Files - Backups are sent to Rackspace's service. Again, you must first sign up for a Rackspace account and enter the login and password when using this option.
In all cases you can use strftime-style date-based substitution codes
in the destination paths. Some of the other codes that can be used are :
%a The abbreviated weekday name according to the cur
rent locale.
%A The full weekday name according to the current
locale.

locale.

but a leading zero is replaced by a space.
%E Modifier: use alternative format, see below.
%G The ISO 8601 year with century as a decimal number.
The 4-digit year corresponding to the ISO week num
ber (see %V). This has the same format and value
as %y, except that if the ISO week number belongs
to the previous or next year, that year is used
instead.
%g Like %G, but without century, i.e., with a 2-digit
year (00-99).
%h Equivalent to %b.

sponding string for the current locale.
%r The time in a.m. or p.m. notation. In the POSIX
locale this is equivalent to `%I:%M:%S %p'.
