The backup agent configuration is stored in a different directory depending on the used operating system.

  • Using Windows, the configuration storage directory is: C:\ProgramData\ArxOne\Backup\
  • Using Linux, the configuration storage directory is: /usr/local/etc/arx.one/backup/
  • Using DSM (NAS Synology), the configuration storage directory is: /usr/local/etc/arx.one/backup/ (DSM6 and below) /var/packages/ArxOneBackup/etc/backup (DSM7 and above)
  • Using QTS (NAS QNAP), the configuration storage directory is: /etc/config/arx.one/backup/

The configuration file is named backupagent.conf

  • Using Windows, the activity log storage directory is: C:\ProgramData\ArxOne\Backup\Agent\Log\
  • Using Linux, the activity log storage directory is: /var/log/arx.one/backup/agent/
  • Using DSM (NAS Synology), the activity log storage directory is: /var/log/arx.one/
  • Using QTS (NAS QNAP), the activity log storage directory is: /share/homes/.var/arx.one/backup/log/
