Volumes

In [CDP Enterprise Edition|Enterprise Edition], [Disk Safes|Disk Safes] can be kept in containers on the Backup System called *Volumes*. Volumes are helpful If you are a service provider using CDP Enterprise Edition and your customers log on to the CDP Web interface to manage their own data protection.

Volume is a storage of one or more Disk Safes with a common Quota and assigned User(s)/Group(s). A Volume can keep replications of several Agents.
