  • 1.  Is it possible to move the files used by SEPv11 from the C: drive to another location

    Posted Apr 21, 2009 11:04 AM
    Due to the initial setup of the SBS2003 server, the space on the C: drive is extremely tight and the SEP occupies about 3GB (on a 12GB partition).  I would like to move it to another partition on the same server.  How much can be moved and how is it done?

    Not much idea , but you can have a backup of SEPM and re-installed it in other drive and restore the backup.

    I have printed out the documentation referenced by pbogu and will review it in depth.  I appreciate your time in addressing this issue.

    Also, keep in mind that even if you install the SEPM to another drive, the C: drive is still used for Live Update definitions and more.  On my server, there's about 752MB used in c:\documents and settings\all users\application data\Symantec

    We were not lucky enoght with dtabase backup on one machine and restore on the another. The restore process was not very simple.
