Here is a network usage graph with 2 identical backup, the first one without compression:

## Add a disk for local backups
If you want to use XOA to store all your backups, you need to attach a large disk to it. This can be done in live.
First, after your disk is attached to XOA, you'll have to find the new disk name with `fdisk -l`. It's probably `xvdb`.
Then, create a filesystem on it:
```
mkfs.ext4 /dev/xvdb
```
If you already have backups done, you can move them to the new disk. The orignal backup folder is in `/var/lib/xoa-backups`.
To get the mount point persistent in XOA, edit the `/etc/fstab` file, and add:
```
/dev/xvdb /var/lib/xoa-backups ext4 defaults 0 0
```
This way, without modifying your previous scheduled snapshot, they will be written in this local mountpoint!
