I need to Move Networker Server Installation between partitions in Windows 2008
Hello,
I have a NetWorker server 8.1 installed on a server running Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1, the partition where this is installed the NW Server is the partition C, I need to move it to D: where there is more storage space.
The server is the same and will not change its hostname or IP
Anyone know the procedure to make this move from one partition to another?
Regards

Just to expand on what nicola already said:
- stop NW
- make copy of mm, res and index (or better said, rename them)
- uninstall NW
- install NW, this time on D or wherever you want
- stop services
- delete mm, res, index on new location
- move old mm, res and index to new location
- start services
Note that if you had any resource which on backup server had pointed out to C: drive (like custom notification) and which was refering to NSR path, it will need to be altered manually.

Hi
you can try :
shutdown nw services
uninstall nw
install nw on D: partition
keep your original nsr (in C:\Program Files\...\nsr) and substitute the new one (just created on D:)
start nw services
let me know
regards,

Hi,
Please refer below article

This is for unix , but its slimier in windows also
To move some of the NetWorker folders to a different mount point you have to follow these steps:
1 - Stop NetWorker services.
2 - Rename the desired directory.
For example: /nsr/tmp /nsr/tmp.old
3 - Create a new folder with the same name: /nsr/tmp
4 - Now we assign the new mount point to the new created folder:
1 - Go to Disk Manager, right-click the partition or volume where you want to mount-point folder path, and then click Change Drive Letter and Paths.
Click Add. Click Mount in the following empty NTFS folder, type path of an empty folder on a NTFS volume.
2 - Using command line: At command prompt: diskpart At diskpart prompt: list volume
At diskpart prompt: select volume
At diskpart prompt: assign [mount=path]
Now copy all the data from the old directory (/nsr/tmp.old) to the new one (/nsr/tmp).
Identify the partition/moint point you want to use:
df -k
Move the old directory to the moint point, but with the original name:
mv /nsr/tmp.old /newmount/nsr/tmp
Create a soft link between folders:
ln -s /newmount/nsr/tmp /nsr/tmp
5 - Start NetWorker services.
