This topic provides an overview of data volumes. It also provides the instructions to add data volumes and edit the existing data volumes.
About data volumes
A data volume is a folder on a TurboTier where Druva stores the backup data. For each data volume, you must set an appropriate size. A data volume permits you to consume a portion of the storage. You can only consume a portion of the storage that is equivalent to the size of the data volume. If your setup requires more storage, you can add data volumes, and set a size for the data volumes.
After you create TurboTier data volumes, you can resize the data volumes. Ensure that you connect the TurboTier to the Druva Cloud before you add or edit the data volume size.
📝 Note
You can add up to 10 data volumes for each instance of the TurboTier. The total size of all the data volumes on all instances of the TurboTier that you configured must not exceed the size limit specified in your license.
