Absolute pathname to directory or absolute pathname to volume setting for storage units
Absolute pathname to directory or Absolute pathname to volume is available for any storage unit that is not based on disk pools.
The setting specifies the absolute path to a file system or a volume available for backups to disk. Enter the path directly in the field, then click . Use any location on the disk, providing that sufficient space is available.
Use platform-specific file path separators (/ and \) and colon (:) within a drive specification.
The button displays properties for the directory or volume.
See Properties option in the Change Storage Units dialog box.
Do not configure multiple BasicDisk storage units to use the same volume or file system. Not only do the storage units compete for space, but different Low water marks can cause unexpected behaviors.
If the BasicDisk storage unit is used as a disk staging storage unit, Veritas recommends dedicating a disk partition or file system to it. Dedicating space allows the disk staging space management logic to operate successfully. Or, consider defining AdvancedDisk storage units, which use the disk pools that are composed of the disk volumes that are dedicated file systems for disk backup.
