Warning: Incorrect use of the Windows registry editor may prevent the operating system from functioning properly. Great care should be taken when making changes to a Windows registry. Registry modifications should only be carried-out by persons experienced in the use of the registry editor application. It is recommended that a complete backup of the registry and workstation be made prior to making any registry changes.
To change the location of the Journals:

1. Stop the replication job.

2. Stop the Storage Replicator RSA .

3. Edit the drive letter in the following registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\VERITAS\Storage Replicator\2.11\JournalRoot (Figure 1)

5. Restart the Storage Replicator RSA .

6. Restart the replication job(s).

Notes:
1. The storage location pointed to by the Journal Root must always be available. For example, do not store the journal files on a shared cluster drive.

2. Never put the Journal Root on the same volume as the files being replicated.
