Dell NetWorker 19.9 Administration Guide

Changing the staging directory for NMC database backups

To backup the NMC database, the savepsm process creates a copy of the NMC database in a staging directory. After the backup operation completes, the savepsm process deletes the contents of the staging directory. By default, when you configure an NMC database backup, the configuration process sets the default staging directory to the NetWorker_installation_directory\nsr\nmc\nmcdb_stage folder on Windows and the /nsr/nmcdb_stage directory on Linux.

1. On the Protection window, in the left navigation pane, select Clients.
2. On the Client window, right-click the client resource for the NMC database backup and select Modify Client Properties.
3. On the General tab, modify the Save set field and specify the path to the nmcdb_stage directory on a file system that has sufficient disk space.
   NOTE:If the path does not exist, the savepsm process creates the directory at the time of the backup.
4. Click OK.
