46 Integrating VMware Virtual Infrastructure and Data Protector
Specify During a VCB backup session, virtual machine disks are
mountpoint mounted on a backup proxy system. Select this option to
specify a different mount point directory on the backup
proxy system. This is particularly useful for the VCBimage
backup method, during which the virtual machine disks
are copied to a local disk on the backup proxy system.
This option enables you to specify a mount point where
you have enough disk space. It also enables you to mount
virtual machines on different disks, which improves backup
performance.
Default: Data_Protector_home\tmp
