To ensure smooth ingest and backup workflows in Limecraft Edge, it’s important to correctly set up your storage locations before you start. Here's how to configure them via the Edge Settings.


Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Open Edge Settings
  2. Locate Your Volumes: In the Volumes section, you’ll see a list of available storage locations.
  3. Set the Volume Type: For each volume you want to use, choose the appropriate type from the dropdown list. Here's what each type means:


Source 
Use this for camera cards or original media. It acts as the source for a backup job.
Backup
Select this for volumes that should be used as the destination of a backup job.
Shared 
Choose this for shared storage locations, typically used as the destination of an ingest job. 
System
This type is ignored by Edge and won’t be used in any workflow.



Make sure the right volume types are selected before starting a backup or ingest process to avoid unexpected behaviour.
