Assign Alternate Folder Usage

Limitations and Considerations

It is possible to change which folder Veeam Backup & Replication will use. However, it is critical to note that:

• This will change the path Veeam Backup & Replication uses when communicating with all Linux servers.
• The registry value declares only which folder should be used; Veeam will not attempt to create the folder specified.
• If you use this registry setting, you must ensure that the folder path specified in the registry value exists on every Linux server that Veeam will communicate with. 
• If the custom folder specified is missing, some tasks/jobs will fail.
