You can't use a USB drive for Exchange storage. You can only use local storage, so you will need an additional hard disk. If that is not possible then you will need to build another system with enough space. <br />

I thought the definition of local would be everything that shows up in disk manager but I guess not

I'm trying to restore a information store. I've managed to start this process when I had the RSG path pointed to the C drive. C drive doesn't have enough space.<br />
<br />
When the RSG path is set to the local external USB Disk(ntfs), the job fails with &quot;access Denied&quot;. &nbsp;<br />

Can anyone tell me why that is

The term "Backup" means the methods and processes involved to copy computer data (system data as well as application data) to media other than the ones where the data originally live (disk, tape, optical, cloud). "Restore" in turn means the methods and processes involved in data recovery, i. e., bringing back copied computer data to their original location. Backup/Restore primarily serves as a means of protection against data loss, be it due to disaster, corruption or sabotage. It can also be used for recovering data from an earlier point in time and even for cloning machines or applications. There is a wide variety of backup/restore software available, from expensive commercial products to free or open source tools.
