Relocating repository binaries

This page explains how to relocate the binary sources of all contents from the default storage to an alternative storage inside the same repository.

Before you begin

An alternative content storage must be configured on the target repository. For more information how to do this, see Configuring alternative repository storages.

To relocate repository binaries

1. Log in to D1, and open the D1 Administrator.

2. Select a repository.

3. Select Relocate Contents from the bottom menu (you may have to expand it). Provide the following information:

   • Repository - repository name (autocompleted)
   • Storage Name - valid name of an alternative storage configured on this repository. If you leave this field empty, all binary sources will be relocated to the default repository storage.

4. Click Execute.

   The asynchronous relocation job is started. When it is completed, the binary sources of all repository contents are to be relocated to the target directory.

   Note

   The described operation does not affect the content or folder structure in D1 Explorer. You can track the job status in repository cache area.
