When a backup fails due to low disk space, the Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager (SEPM) Administrator can change the backup file location to free up space on the primary drive. To do this:
* Management Server Configuration Wizard:
* SEPM provides an option to reconfigure certain directories, including the backup directory, through the Management Server Configuration Wizard.
* By selecting the option to move the backup directory, administrators can specify a new location with sufficient space to store backup files without disrupting the default data or install directories.
* Steps to Change Backup Directory Location:
* Launch the SEPM Management Server Configuration Wizard.
* Choose the option to reconfigure or move thebackup directoryspecifically. This step does not affect the core SEPM installation or database directories.
* Specify a new path for the backup directory where sufficient storage is available to prevent future failures.
* Reasoning Behind the Choice:
* Options A, C, and D involve moving the data, install, or database directories, which are unrelated to backup storage issues. Only the backup directory relocation addresses the low disk space issue during backup processes.
