Access volumes

The _Volumes_ page in Server Backup Manager allows you to work with the containers, or "volumes," in which your Disk Safes are stored. Click *Settings* and then *Volumes* in the Main Menu to open this page. You also can access the Volumes area directly by adding {{/Volume/}} to the Backup Manager address in your Web browser address bar, such as [http://10.61.200.31/Volume/]. Note that the address is case sensitive. 

From the _Volumes_ page, you can:
* Add a volume using the *+ New Volume* button.
* Click the *Actions* icon to edit, remove, or delete a volume directly from the _Volumes_ screen.
* Copy or move a volume folder within this machine or from another machine using the *Import Existing Volume* button.
* Search for specific volumes or filter the displayed volumes using advanced search criteria.
