Symantec Online Storage can never be part of a device pool, including the All Device pool. You must always specify the individual Symantec Online Storage folder to which you want to target a duplicate backup job. This feature helps ensure that you don’t accidentally send backup jobs to a Symantec Online Storage folder.

To create a Symantec Online Storage folder

  1. On the navigation bar, click Devices.

  2. In the task pane, under Device Tasks, click Configure devices assistant.

  3. Click Symantec Online Storage.
