Default Directory Devices
For Network Edition, each time a server is added , three directory devices are automatically configured. This
is mainly done to provide default backup options that illustrate the special naming convention for the
physical directories and how that affects the location and sharing of the backup files. Those directories are:
•
/backups/data/%G/%C Non-system backups placed in a private directory for each group and
client. These backups are not shared among clients.
•
/backups/system/%G/%C System backups placed in a private directory for each group and
client. These backups are not shared among clients.
•
/backups/system/%G/shared System backups placed in a directory for each group, not shared
among groups. However, all client backups are in one directory that
other clients in the same group can read (unless you specify
host
read-only permission for each backup). These backups are suitable
for cloning one client system onto another or sharing of backup data.
You do not have to use any of these devices, and can remove them as long as they are not already assigned to
a backup job. See
Separating Backups by Group and Client above for more on the %G and %C notations.
