Legacy backup-to-disk folders
In previous versions of Backup Exec, the backup-to-disk feature let you back up data to a folder on a hard disk. These legacy backup-to-disk folders are now read-only. You can continue to inventory, catalog, and restore data from a backup-to-disk folder. You can use remote Simplified Disaster Recovery to perform a disaster recovery from backup-to-disk folders.
In Windows Explorer, the backup-to-disk folders display in the path you specified when you added the folders. The backup-to-disk files display with a .bkf file extension. Each backup-to-disk folder also contains a file named changer.cfg and a file named folder.cfg, which store information about the backup-to-disk files.
Note: Do not delete or edit the changer.cfg or folder.cfg files.
A subfolder with a prefix of IMG in the name may display under a backup-to-disk folder.
In previous versions, Backup Exec created this subfolder when the following conditions were met in a backup job:
-
The option to enable Granular Recovery Technology (GRT) was selected.
-
A backup-to-disk folder was selected as storage for the backup data.
You cannot send backup data to a backup-to-disk folder. Veritas recommends that you back up data to a disk-based storage device.
