Directory can exist on the root file system or system disk setting for storage units
This setting allows the user to specify a directory on the root file system (UNIX) or on a system drive (Windows) in the Absolute pathname to directory field.
When this setting is checked, the directory is created automatically. If a storage unit is configured on C drive and this option is not checked, backups fail with status code 12 (file open failed).
Note:
With this setting checked, the root file system or the system drive can fill up.
A job fails under the following conditions:
If the setting is not checked, and if the directory already exists on the root file system or on a system drive.
If the setting is not checked, and the requested directory is to be created on the root file system or on a system drive.
