About moving Archiving Option components to a new location

You can use the Backup Exec Utility to move Archiving Option components to a new location. Ensure that no other archive-related operations are running when you move a component.

If you must move a component because the hardware that hosts the component has failed, you should use a redirected restore job.

See About redirecting the restore of Archiving Option components.

Table: Moving Archiving Option components to a new location

Component

More information

Index location

You can move an index location if the disk where the index files are stored runs out of space.

Use the Change Index Location task in Backup Exec Utility.

Databases

You can move databases to a different SQL Server. For example, you can move the databases if the current SQL Server becomes overloaded.

Use the Change Database Location task in Backup Exec Utility.

Vault store partitions

You can move vault store partitions if you must remove the current drive or network share that contains the partition.

Note:

If a vault store partition only requires more disk space, you can create a new partition and designate it as open.

See Creating a vault store partition.

Use the Change Vault Store Partition Path task in Backup Exec Utility.
