Changing the deduplication database path

To change the deduplication database path

  1. Create an empty folder where the new deduplication database will be stored.
  2. Stop the Acronis Storage Node Service.
  3. Browse to %PROGRAMDATA%\Acronis\BackupAndRecovery\ASN\.meta.
  4. Locate the vault configuration file. To do this, open the files in the folder one-by-one in a text editor.

    You must find the file that contains the vault name in the <name> tags. For example:

    <name>
          vaultname
    </name>

  5. In the vault configuration file, type the new folder path in the <index_database_uri> tags. For example:

    <index_database_uri>
          E:/new_deduplication_database
    </index_database_uri>

  6. Start the Acronis Storage Node Service.
  7. Validate the result as described in the previous section.
