The Job Results directory stores the job result files created when a job is initiated. By default, the Job Results directory is created when the software is installed. By default, the path is software_installation_directory\iDataAgent\JobResults. You can specify a new path. The specified path will have the Job Results directory created within it.
The Job Results directory cannot reside on a compressed drive or in the following folders:
-
software_installation_folder/Base
-
software_installation_folder/GUI
-
Log files folder
You cannot change the path of the Job Results directory for the following clients:
-
Laptop clients
-
Pseudoclients such as NAS clients or virtualization clients
To change job results for pseudoclients, change the path on the dependent backup nodes or on the proxy.
Before You Begin
-
From the Job Controller, verify that no jobs (such as backups or restores) on the client are in progress. If a job is in the running or waiting state, use the Job Controller to suspend or kill the job before changing the path of the Job Results directory.
-
Disable all activity on the client. For more information, see Enabling or Disabling Backups and Restores.
