3. The next step of the Wizard provide the path for where the file library is to be stored. This
may be the path to the root level of the D2D CIFS share or it could be a directory within that
share. The Browse button only works for storage that is local on the media server so cannot
be used to locate the D2D CIFS share.
After adding the directory path, click Properties in order to specify the following parameters:
Maximum size of file depot: This is the size of each individual backup file. The default is
5 GB; this should be set to a value larger than the expected maximum size of the backup
jobs that are being sent to this file library. Doing so prevents the creation of lots of small
files and the overhead of doing so.
Minimum free disk space to create new file depot: The default is 2 MB which is OK.
Amount of disk space that should stay free on disk: Leave this at the default of 0 MB as
it makes little sense on a deduplicating file store.
Even if free disk space drops below %: Leave this set at 10%. Although this has little
relevance on a deduplicating filestore it still acts as a useful early warning.
