Relocating default directories

You can relocate database, trace, logs, reports, stats, and temporary directories to a different drive or volume to alleviate low disk space issues.

To configure default settings for a NetVault Backup Client, click Client Settings. In the NetVault Backup Clients table, select the client, and click Next.
3
Under System and Security, click General. In the General dialog box, configure the following settings.

Database Directory

This directory stores the module list, license keys, and NetVault Database.

The default path for the database directory is <NetVault Backup Home>\db on Windows and <NetVault Backup Home>/db on Linux.

For instructions on relocating the database directory, see Relocating the NetVault Database directory.

Trace Directory

This directory stores the NetVault Backup trace logs.

The default path for the trace directory is <NetVault Backup Home>\trace on Windows and <NetVault Backup Home>/trace on Linux. To relocate the directory, type the full path. The specified path must exist on the target drive or volume. If the NetVault Backup Server is unable to find the path, it fails to relocate the directory.

Log Directory

This directory stores the NetVault Backup log files.

The default path for the logs directory is <NetVault Backup Home>\logs on Windows and <NetVault Backup Home>/logs on Linux. To relocate the directory, type the full path. The specified path must exist on the target drive or volume. If the NetVault Backup Server is unable to find the path, it fails to relocate the directory.

Temporary Directory

This directory stores the temporary files generated during various NetVault Backup operations.

The default path for the temporary directory is <NetVault Backup Home>\tmp on Windows and <NetVault Backup Home>/tmp on Linux. To relocate the directory, type the full path. The specified path must exist on the target drive or volume. If the NetVault Backup Server is unable to find the path, it fails to relocate the directory.

Reports Directory

This directory stores the report templates.

The default path for the reports directory is <NetVault Backup Home>\reports on Windows and <NetVault Backup Home>/reports on Linux. To relocate the directory, type the full path.

Before configuring a new path, you must copy the directory contents to the new path. If a new path is configured without relocating the directory contents, an error message appears (“Provider 'NVBUPhysicalClient' failed”), and the NetVault Backup Service fails to restart.

Statistics Directory

This directory stores data collected by the nvstatsmngr process.

The default path for the statistics directory is <NetVault Backup Home>\stats on Windows and <NetVault Backup Home>/stats on Linux. To relocate the directory, type the full path. The specified path must exist on the target drive or volume. If the NetVault Backup Server is unable to find the path, it fails to relocate the directory.

Relocating the NetVault Database directory

To relocate the NetVault Database directory, use the procedures described in the following sections:

To change the Database Directory on a Linux-based NetVault Backup Server:
If the systemd is supported on the system:
Run the systemctl stop netvault command.
If the systemd is not supported on the system:
a
In a terminal window, type txtconfig, and press Enter or Return.
b
On the Machine page, press p to view the main menu, and then press the option number for the Services page.
2
Stop the netvault-pgsql service.
If the systemd is supported on the system:
Run the systemctl stop netvault-pgsql command.
If the systemd is not supported on the system:
Run the /etc/init.d/netvault-pgsql stop command
3
Manually move the db directory to the new location.
4
From the Txtconfig utility, change the Database Directory path.
a
On the Machine page, press p to view the main menu, and then press the option number for the General page.
b
Press the option number for the Database Directory setting, and type the full path.
c
Press s to save the setting, and then press q to quit Txtconfig.
5
In the NetVault Backup installation directory, open the config directory, and then open the pgdb.cfg configuration file in the text editor.
In the [InstallInfo] section, change the datadir to specify new path for pgsql.
/usr/lib/systemd/system/netvault-pgsql.service file.

Start the netvault-pgsql service.
If the systemd is supported on the system:
Run the systemctl start netvault-pgsql command.
If the systemd is not supported on the system:
Run the /etc/init.d/netvault-pgsql start command
To change the Database Directory on a Windows-based NetVault Backup Server:
1
From the Windows Services Management Console, stop the netvault-pgsql service and NetVault Process Manager service.
2
Manually move the db directory to the new location. Make sure that the user under which the netvault‑pgsql service runs has the ownership of the new Database Directory.
4
In the NetVault Backup installation directory, open the config directory, and then open the pgdb.cfg file in the text editor.
In the [InstallInfo] section, change the datadir to specify new path for pgsql.
6
Expand the key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\
netvault‑pgsql
, and change the value for the ImagePath property to reflect the new path for the Database Directory.
7
On the Windows Services Management Console, right-click the netvault-pgsql service, and select Properties. On the General tab, verify that the Path to executable parameter displays the new database path.
8
Start the netvault-pgsql and NetVault Process Manager service.
