Acronis Backup for Exchange: Changing Temp Files and Folder Location

By default, during an operation, Acronis Backup will save its temporary files to the \ProgramData\Acronis\ Temp folder on the machine where Acronis Agent for Exchange is installed (during backup), or either on the Agent machine or Acronis Management Server machine (during browsing of backups and restore).

You may want to change this if the capacity of the disk with the ProgramData folder on the affected machine (Agent or AMS) is an issue.

Acronis Backup 12.5, Acronis Backup 12, Acronis Backup Advanced 11.7 and any build higher than 32308 of Acronis Backup Advanced 11.5 for Exchange (Acronis Backup & Recovery 11.5 for MS Exchange Server)

1. Open Windows Registry Editor ( Start-Run -> regedit ) and navigate to the following key:

   HKLM\Software\Acronis\BackupAndRecovery\Settings\ApplicationsCommon (create it, if doesn't exist: right-click on the Settings key -> New -> Key -> name the created key ApplicationsCommon )

2. In this key, change the TempPath string value to local folder where you want the product to save temporary files. Create the string value, if doesn't exist: right-click on the ApplicationsCommon key -> New -> String Value -> name it TempPath , double-click on the string -> enter the path to the local folder in Value data.

The TempPath does not support NTFS mount points pointing to a different volume: recovery will fail. Mount points pointing to the same volume are supported.
