Specifying Default Backup Location

In this article

    Veeam Agent for IBM AIX creates backup files in the default backup location. The name of default backup location is defined in the /etc/veeam/ubax.ini configuration file. The configuration file has the following format:

    [UBax]
    DefStorageDev="<location>"
    LocalFS="1"

     

    where <location> is the name of the default backup location.

    To specify the default backup location, you can edit the /etc/veeam/ubax.ini configuration file directly.

    Make sure that the backup location that you select as the default one is defined in the etc/veeam/devices.ini configuration file. To learn more, see Specifying Backup Location Settings.

    For the full description of the ubax.ini file format, refer to the ubax manual page. To view the manual page, use the man ubax command.

    Example

    The following example displays the command used to select the backup location with the name Incrementals as the default backup location.

    cat > /etc/veeam/ubax.ini << EOF
    [UBax]
    DefStorageDev="Incrementals"
    LocalFS="1"
    EOF
