thank you very much, that was too easy.  when i got up the part where it showed me that it was going to install to c:, i went "back" but only to the screen of choosing "install master/media, client, or admin console".  hitting "back" 1 more time shows me the "typical" or "custom" option.  luckily i hadn't installed anything.

thanks again,
jerald

Yes, select custom install and you can manually change the location from C:\Program Files\Veritas to D:\Program Files\Veritas. Also be aware that I recently installed to the C: (accidentally), removed the install via Add/Remove Programs, Reinstalled to D:, and NetBackup's registry entries were all screwed up. I'm not sure if it was a one time thing or if there is a problem with the install package but the uninstall did not clean out all the registry entries which left me with registry entries pointing to C: and D: which left NetBackup unstable. I chose to rebuild the machine entirely (it was a new build anyway) but Datalink support suggested clearing out the registry entries manually.

i've been using netbackup on unix/linux for many years.  i'm attempting my first install of netbackup 7.1 for a new small environment which is a windows master/media server.  i'd like to install to the d: drive but the installation gui does not give me a chance to change it.  i do not want to install to c: and then have to hack it to move it to the d: drive as i've seen some symantec articles on moving the database if it gets too big.  has anyone been able to install directly to a different location?  should i download 7.0 and try that, and then upgrade to 7.1?  that also seems to be an unneccessary hack if the 7.0 installation does let me change the installation path.  hopefully it's something i'm overlooking as i'm fairly new to using this here pointy-clicky thing.

thanks in advance,
jerald
