BEDATA Folder for Multiple backup jobs.

[downsouth]

So I created disk storage and the BEDATA directory was created. My question is how can i create sub directorys off of this for say Exchange and file server jobs. Do you have this option or do I have to carve up volumes and send the jobs to those volumes under thier \BEDATA common folders.

I.E.

H\BEDATA <<Exchange BU's

I:\BEDATA << File server BU's 

etc...

I did see this PDF on disk storage as of 2012 - https://www.veritas.com/support/en_US/article.100025225.html

but wanted to make sure

• Create a separate backup-to-disk folder specifically for all GRT enabled backup jobs. Note: Backup Exec 2012 enforces one disk storage device per Windows volume, as such this will need multiple volumes"

[pkh · Accepted solution]

From BE 2012 onwards, BE only allow one disk storage per volume.  You cannot create sub-directories or another disk storage on the same volume.

Why are you trying to seperate your backup sets?
