You will have to reinstall NetBackup and choose the NetBackup Installation Type as 'Custom' during installation.

I don't think there's a straight forward way for it.
The supported way is to backup the catalog, re-install your master server on D drive and restore the catalog.

The question ist - why?
Is the partition C to small? Are the parition D on the same disk? iI it possible to delete partition D and extend Partition C with dirkpart (tool of W2K-Rescourekit), or maybe its possible to extent parition C with an dynamic disc-partition.
An other way is to make an cold backup of the netbackup-database. Install a new server with greater C-partition and netbackup on partition C and then make an desaster recover from the netbackup-catalog (this one I have done 2 times successfully) ...

Yes, my C: partition on new server is to small and the new directive of my client all install application on D: drive......

But i have resolve my prob with nbdb_move cmd, i move all database on the new location directory D:\VERITAS\NetBackupDB\data on old server.

Install Netbackup on the new server D:\VERITAS....etc
and move from old_server C:\...\netbackup\db , C:\..\netbackup\var , C:\..\vlomgr , D:\VERITAS\NetBackupDB\data\netbackupdb\* to new_server directory D:\VERITAS...etc
and edit databases.conf , server.conf and modify th path.

that all is work
bye many tks
