Changing the location of a deduplication disk storage device
You can change the location of an existing deduplication disk storage device. You can move the deduplication disk storage device to another volume on the same Backup Exec server. If the Central Admin Server feature is installed, you can move the deduplication disk storage device to another Backup Exec server. Only one deduplication disk storage device is supported per Backup Exec server.
It is recommended that you use the same name for the deduplication disk storage device when you change the location, but it is not required.
To change the location of a deduplication disk storage device
- Ensure that no jobs are running or are scheduled to run until you have completed the process of changing the location of a deduplication disk storage device.
- Document the current path of the deduplication disk storage device by viewing the properties of the device.
- On the Storage tab, right-click the deduplication disk storage device, and then click Disable.
- Right-click the deduplication disk storage device again, and then click Delete.
- When you are prompted to delete the device, click Yes.
- Click the Backup Exec button, select Configuration and Settings, select Backup Exec Services, and then click Stop all services.
- In Windows Explorer, copy the deduplication disk storage device to the new path or volume.
Note:
This step can take a long time as all of the data within the device is copied to the new location.
- On the Backup Exec Administration Console, click the Backup Exec button, select Configuration and Settings, select Backup Exec Services, and then click Restart all services.
- On the Storage tab, click Configure Storage, click Disk-based storage, and then click Next.

If the deduplication disk storage device was created in Backup Exec 2012 and later
Click Create a new deduplication disk storage device.
If the deduplication disk storage device was created in a version prior to Backup Exec 2012
Click Import an existing deduplication disk storage device, and then enter the path to which you moved the deduplication disk storage device.
- Click Next.
- Specify the logon account that was used for the original deduplication disk storage device, and then click Next.
- Specify if you want to enable encryption, and then click Next.
- Specify the number of concurrent operations to run on the deduplication disk storage device, and then click Next.
- Review the summary, and then click Finish.
- When the deduplication disk storage device comes online, you can delete the original files.
