I was teaching a CV Engineer trainingsome time ago, using a lab setup for demos that I upgraded from 11.32 to 11.40. I created a disk storage pool to demo things. When I started to configure dedupe, I only got the possibility to choose the MA for the DDB, not the location (vloume / folder), so the DDB ended on the C: drive. Is this because the upgrade went wrong, or is this by design? If it's by design, why???

Location of DDB when creating disk storage...

Correct, you can specify the DDB location during installation, or if it’s already installed you can add a new location and delete the default location.
If you already have a DDB at the default location, add the desired location, move the DDB partition(s) then remove the default partition.
You can also have multiple DDB locations on each MA if desired.

Hi,
DDB location(s) can be set on the Media Agent, also number of DDB partitions are now auto calculated since FR38 and DDBs automatically load balanced for new installs.

Hi
I had this issue as well recently.
If I understand correctly, I need to add a DDB path after installing the media agent in the MA properties as by default, a folder in the install directory is used?
Once this is done, any new DDB partition that is created wil be placed in that DDB path?
Kind regards,

Hi all,
It looks like it. Documentation says (Thanks
So I understand that during installation of a MA, the DDB location can be specified
