File path for the snapshot XML files. The path specified applies to all the snapshot sets that you are currently creating, for all currently selected databases. If the field is not editable, you are modifying an existing snapshot set schedule, so the value cannot be changed.
For a non-clustered environment, the default location is:
SystemDrive:\ProgramData\VERITAS\VSSXML\application name
If a redirect.txt file has been created, the path in that file is shown in the field.
For new schedules for a clustered server environment, if there is no redirect.txt file, the field is empty. Enter the Universal Naming Convention (UNC) path to a location on shared storage, for example: \\ServerName\SharedFolderName .
You must store the XML files on a separate volume from the volumes that are included in snapshots. Otherwise a restore will fail.
Ensure that you use a consistent location. That way, you can easily find the XML metadata file, which is required for recovery.
