Can Arcserve be moved from c: to d: 1

[arfjay]

The problem is that I have 8% free space [outside of MFT] left on my fragmented c: drive on the NT 4.0 Server which isn't enough for Diskeeper 7 to defragment effectively. I need to move something significant off c: to d: so it can defragment enough to get enough contiguous free space so I can set up 'boot time' defrag [MFT, pagefile and directories]. All the pagefile except for 2 mg has already gone to the d: drive. Current C: free space is 396 meg.

The Arcserve folder on c: is 273 meg. The question is Can I move it do d: ? If so, does anyone know what the steps are so it will actually work once moved?

Thanks in advance for your suggestions.

You actually have to un-install and re-install. But first copy your database, log, and other related sub folders to the D drive. Un=install Arcserve, then re-install it on D:, then copy the folders back under it. That way you keep your existing jobs, and database from previous backups.

Thank you 'wjense' for the quick response ... I will try this probably next weekend and I will let you know how it went. I assume that the reinstall will 'point' everything that is needed at the d: instead of the c: drive - if not I am sure it will alert me.

Yes it will, I've done this several times. I had 4 servers and that was the same issue, and I did exactly that...all jobs were still there.

let me know if you have any further questions
