Staging Location for GRT backup job is set to C:\
Dear All,
I was aware that in order to have single item recovery using GRT a temporary space is required to stage the DB for example for exchange and then from there we can pull individual item. This is case when restoring from a tape.
Today I noticed that in backup exec 2012 under config settings > storage there is staging location also set to C:\ and this is for backup jobs. Before I never noticed this item and now I want to know that does backup exec also requires same huge amount of space when running GRT based backup jobs to tape ?
See attached picture with red outlined portion. Since, it doesn't make sense to me to assign another big partition to Bexec server for GRT backup jobs so for this I need to understand how much space it requires in staging area.
Kind Regards,
Hello Phk,
This discussion just for understanding of space requirement. Yes, there is no problem of changing it to another drive.
Now I am clear after having chat with Symantec L2 support that space requirement for GRT backup job is not like required for restores.
So thats it... clear
