Using Arcserve UDP Agent (Linux) › How to Manage the Backup Server Settings › Configure the Snapshot Path for Backup Node

Configure the Snapshot Path for Backup Node

When you back up Linux Nodes, the default /tmp folder is used to store the disk snapshot file. The /tmp folder must have sufficient empty space. To change the snapshot path on Linux Nodes, you can configure a node-specific file and specify the new path.

Follow these steps:

1. Log into the Backup Server as a root user.
2. Navigate to the node folder:

   /opt/Arcserve/d2dserver/configfiles/node
   

   Note: If the folder is not present, create the folder.

   The node folder contains the <node_name>.cfg file. Each node has its own cfg file.

3. To configure the Linux Node snapshot path, add the following line in the specific <node_name>.cfg file:

   target_snapshot_dir=<path>
   

   Note: If the <node_name>.cfg file is not present, create the file.

   Example: If the node name is d2dbackupnode and you want to store the snapshot under the /d2dsnapshot path, then open the following cfg file:

   /opt/Arcserve/d2dserver/configfiles/node/d2dbackupnode.cfg
   

   Add the following line:

   target_snapshot_dir=/d2dsnapshot
   

The snapshot folder on target node is configured.
