After Veritas System Recovery is installed, a folder is created with the metadata and the configuration data. The following folder contains the metadata and the configuration data, such as job configuration data, Veritas System Recovery logs, backup job history:
C:\Program Data\Veritas\Veritas System Recovery
Note: Veritas recommends that only privileged users or an administrator have the rights to access this folder. If a non-administrative user is configured to use Veritas System Recovery with the Security Configuration Tool, add the user to this folder's access control list. This is application data and so it needs to be protected to avoid tampering.
