Moving the image databas is possible, just follow the following steps:
1- Backup the catalog.
2- Ensure that no jobs are running using the activity monitor.
3- Stop the bprd & bpdbm using the services tab located in the activity monitor to avoid any database inconsistency and prevent any further jobs from running.
4- Create a destination directory for each client, for example:- (E:\Netbackup_images/PC1), (E:\Netbackup_images/PC2)
5- Create a file called ALTPATH in the image database directory of each client you wish to move its images, for example:- if you wanna move the images of the client called PC1, create a file called ALTPATH in the directory (C:\Program Files\Veritas\NetBackup\db\images\PC1), in the first line of the file, type the new path of the destination directory created in step 4 (E:\Netbackup_images/PC1), this should be the only entry written in the file.
6- Move all the directories and files except the ALTPATH file located under each client directory to their new directory respectively.
7- Add the new image directory paths (E:\Netbackup_images/PC1), (E:\Netbackup_images/PC2), etc.., to the Netbackup catalog backup configuration.
8- Start the services that you have stopped in step 3.
