What is purpose of NetBackup Temp hidden folder in Windows 2008 R2 C drive

Hello,

Could someone please tell me the purpose of "NetBackup Temp" hidden folder in windows 2008 R2 C drive. The folder is empty.

The customer suspects that NetBackup is creating temporary files in it.

Thank you.

 

Netbackup version on Master & Media servers is 7.7.1,the client is on 7.5.0.6

 

 

  • Where exactly is this hidden folder? 

    On the server or client?
    If client - how many?

    Directly under the root of C-drive or under Veritas or NetBackup folder?

    I have this folder on my laptop (NBU Client installed):

    C:\Program Files\Veritas\NetBackup\Temp

    Is this what you are referring to?

     

  • "C:\NetBackup Temp"

    Seems to be used during backup of the particular server/workstation.  I've never noticed any files in it, but the timestamp changes.

  • Apologies. I only noticed the screenshot now. I guess the only way to know is to monitor the contents of the folder during backup. There is no public documentation for this folder that explains its purpose.
