Custom Software
Overview
The Custom Software page allows administrators to define custom backup software types and their associated file extensions. These custom software entries appear as options in the Folder Type dropdown when creating or mounting storage folders. This is useful when your backup software is not included in the default list.
To access Custom Software, click on CUSTOM SOFTWARE from the left navigation menu.
