With the default settings, the snapshot storage is created in a Windows' temporary files folder
and initially occupies 50 percent of the space available on the volume containing that folder. This
size may then grow if more space is needed for the snapshot.
You may want to increase the initial size of the snapshot storage—or to place it on a different
volume—when experiencing problems with backing up data that changes extensively during
backup.
This parameter is used when creating a backup plan. Changes to this parameter do not affect
already existing backup plans.
This parameter has the following settings:
Snapshot Storage Path
Description:
Specifies the folder in which to create the snapshot storage.
Possible values:
Any string 0 to 32765 characters long
Default value:
Empty string
An empty string means a temporary files folder, which is typically given by the TMP or TEMP
environment variable.
You can specify a local folder on any volume, including a volume you are backing up.
Snapshot Storage Absolute Size
Description:
Specifies the initial size of the snapshot storage, in megabytes.
Possible values:
Any integer number between 0 and 2147483647
Default value:
0
If this setting is 0, the management server uses the Snapshot Storage Relative Size setting.
The initial size will not exceed the available space minus 50 MB.
Snapshot Storage Relative Size
This setting is effective only when the Snapshot Storage Absolute Size setting is 0.
Description:
Specifies the initial size of the snapshot storage as a percentage of the disk space
that is available at the time of starting the backup.
Possible values:
Any integer number between 0 and 100
Default value:
50
If this setting is 0, the snapshot storage will not be created.
The initial size will not exceed the available space minus 50 MB.
Without the snapshot storage, taking snapshots is still possible.
The size of the snapshot storage does not affect the size of the backup.
