Configuring SCO ARCserve/Open

Relocating the SCO ARCserve/Open database

By default, the SCO ARCserve/Open database is located on the root filesystem. Over time, the database may grow to such a size that it starts creating space problems on the root filesystem.

You can move the database to a filesystem that has more available space:

  1. It is recommended that you back up the database, /usr/lib/ARCserve/dbase, before moving it to a different location.

  2. Run astop.

  3. Change to the following directory:

    cd /usr/lib/ARCserve

  4. Move the database directory to a different filesystem. For example:

    mv ./dbase /<new_filesystem>/dbase

  5. Make a link to the new database directory:

    ln -s /<new_filesystem>/dbase ./dbase

  6. Run astart.
