The default location for the backing file is on the root of the partition being backed up.

----
If you wish to change the location of the backing file, you can do so in the policy settings.

     1. Edit the policy where you wish to change the backing file.

     2. Choose the "Advanced Policy Settings" tab.

     3. Check the box for "Specify backing file location" and provide the path to the new location.

     4. Save.


Your backing file location will now be changed.

NOTE: The new location will be used for ALL partitions on the host machine. So when choosing your location, make sure it has enough free space to handle the backing file for the largest partition on the host machine. (Up to 15% of the total partition in the case of a very busy machine)
