Backup exec 2014 IMG folder

Question

Hello,

I have 3 storages:

a) Tape drive

b) Nas Zyxel

c) Nas Synology

&nbsp;

Since I upgraded to backup exec 2014 I found many folders called IMGxxx on the drives that I backup (not the storage, I'm talking about the source). How Can I avoid this ?

&nbsp;

Thanks for your help

&nbsp;

If you see IMG folders in your source, open them and what type of files are present inside ? Are these Backup Exec related ones ?
		Secondly per the screenshot, these IMG folders which are present in your source are not similar to the ones created by Backup Exec atleast per their names. Backup Exec's IMG folders typically have names such as IMG00001, whereas you have folders named as IMG1

It must be backup exec files.

If I open IMG169 on my c drive I have a folder called vdb and that folder contains a file called file001.tmp

&nbsp;

All folders have the same structure.

Thanks for your help

...those folders are created when running B2D jobs. No way to avoid them being created, but did you just create a B2D location in the root of a drive?

Thanks!

AFAIK, BE does not create .img folders at the source. &nbsp;It only create them in the disk storage directories.
