Cache File Volume List
The Cache File Volume List serves as a list of preferred locations for NetBackup to place VSP cache files. Volumes should be listed in this list as drive letters separated by commas and spaces. For example: C, D, E
The list indicates that all backup jobs requiring VSP snapshots will have their VSP cache files placed in a volume listed in the Cache File Volume List. If multiple volumes are listed in the Cache File Volume List, the volume with the most free disk space at the time of the backup is the preferred location for VSP cache files. If no volumes are listed, NetBackup will automatically determine the best location for VSP cache files.
NetBackup places cache files on one of these volumes unless it is determined that it is undesirable to use the volumes as cache file locations, even if it is specified by the user. The location is considered undesirable if a volume in the list is also being targeted to be snapshot. Because VSP does not allow snapshots of volumes already containing active cache files, NetBackup would not allow other VSP cache files to be placed in the volume.
And remember that you can configure the file Cache File size limit, to prvent your drives fill up.
Hope this helps, regards
