Important considerations

If you install NetVault SmartDisk on a double-byte Windows® operating system and you do not use the default directories for installation, verify that the new directories are created using single-byte characters; installation fails if you use double-byte characters.
During installation, you are prompted for two volume paths, which must be different. One volume contains the Staging Store, and the other contains the Chunk Index, Chunk Store, and Content Index. You can specify any supported file system that is listed in the Quest NetVault Backup Compatibility Guide available at https://support.quest.com. However, if you intend to use a third-party deduplication appliance, filer, or other form of network-attached storage (NAS) for the NetVault SmartDisk Storage Pools, you must use the network share for the appliance that is exported through Common Internet File System (CIFS) or NFS as the target for the Staging Store. You can specify one network share for each path during installation; if you need additional shares for the Storage Pools, you can add them after installation is finished. You can specify one network share for each path during installation; if you need additional shares for the Storage Pools, you can add them after installation is finished. For more information, see Completing the installation process.
NOTE: The Staging Path and Store Path must point to different target directories, for example, \\Server\share\Stage and \\Server\share\Store. For best performance, they should be on different physical storage devices.
