Settings
In the Storage, backup input screen, you configure the StorageManager’s directories. The StorageManager stores files such as e-mail attachments, documents, and tracking images in the file system.
Lobster Data Platform applies your changes during operation. These settings are stored in the database. Direct configuration via the startup.xml file is no longer supported.

NOTE:
You can specify each directory relative to the Pro home directory. Use the
${pro.home}variable for this. The specified directory must exist on the host and must be writable. In a cluster, this applies to all nodes.
