/data/col1/backup Mtree

Hi Guys,

Anyone if it is OK to delete the /data/col1/backup Mtree when it was empty?  Thanks.

Helloe HK,

/data, /data/col1, and /data/col1/backup directories cannot be deleted or renamed on Data Domain.

The /data/col1/backup directory is the default destination directory for compressed backup server data. Clients, such as backup servers that perform backup and restore operations with a Data Domain System, at the least, need access to the /data/col1/backup directory.

Hi Leo,

Thanks for you reply.

I am asking was because we had been migrated from Directory to Mtree completely.

The /data/col1/backup Mtree was empty and no longer use.

So this is no good to delete even it was empty?

Thanks,

Yan

Do we need to stop the ddboost services if we want to rename any mtree that we created manually, not the default one?
