Table 146. Default directory paths
Setting
Description

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.

NOTE: The trace logs contain large volume of data. Therefore, this directory should not be relocated to a network share.

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.

NOTE: The temporary directory holds the Backup Saveset Index. The free disk space on this directory should be at least three times the size of the index file to perform backups and restores properly. For example, if the backup index file is 3GiB in size, the temporary directory should have at least 9GiB of free disk space. If the temporary directory does not have sufficient space, warnings and logs are generated.

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.
