Change the Preview Data Volume

In some circumstances, you might need to move the preview data generated by the agent to a different disk volume—for example, if the volume on which the preview data is stored is too small. The default volume for Windows is the volume on which the agent was installed.

To change the preview data volume

1. Check that no backup sessions are in progress by entering the following command for Windows:

   NET STOP OPENFILEAGENT
   

   The agent closes.

2. Use a text editor and open the agent’s configuration file, OFANT.CFG.

   By default, the agent is located in the following directory:

   C:\Program Files\CA\ARCserve Backup <aof>
   

3. Add a new line to the section that starts with [General]. If the section does not exist, you can create it.

   [General]
   PreviewDataVolume = x
   

   Note: Substitute x with the desired volume identifier.

4. Save the changes to the configuration file.
5. Restart the agent using the following command for Windows:

   NET START OPENFILEAGENT
   

   The preview data volume is changed.
