Changing BDRShield Client Data Storage Location

Changing BDRShield Client Data Storage Location

KB ID: 115097
Purpose:
To migrate internal database files of BDRsuite Client from one location to another.
Cause:
In BDRShield client, when a significant number of files are added to the backup job, the internal meta-information (sgprp database) created to store file information may grow larger in size. If the meta-information storage location lacks sufficient space for write operations, follow the steps below to migrate the data to another location.
Solution:
Follow these steps to change the location of the Data storage location of the BDRShield client:
Step 1: Stop BDRShieldClient Service from "Services.msc"
Step 2: Open the Vembu NetworkBackup SGConfiguration file from the following location:
<VembuNetworkBackup_Home>/conf/SGConfiguration.conf
Step 3: Edit the BDRShield Client DB Storage location by changing the `<vembunetworkbackup><configuration><dbstoragelocation>` tag, "Path" attribute value to some other location with sufficient disk space (e.g., "D:\VembuNetworkBackup\") and save the configuration file.
Step 4: Create a data folder in the new location (e.g., D:\VembuNetworkBackup\data).
Step 5: Move the "\data.db." files and the `<backup name="">` sub-folders present in the `<old db="" location="">\data\` folder to the `data\` folder under the new DBStorage location (i.e., "D:\VembuNetworkBackup\data").
Step 6: Start BDRShield Client Service from "Services.msc."
