About configuring BasicDisk storage

A BasicDisk type storage unit consists of a directory on locally-attached disk or network-attached disk. The disk storage is exposed as a file system to a NetBackup media server. NetBackup stores backup data in the specified directory.

No special configuration is required for BasicDisk storage. You specify the directory for the storage when you configure the storage unit.
