VOB storage directory restrictions

The VOB storage directory can be any directory on the network, subject to the following restrictions:

  • The directory must not already exist.
  • You must have operating-system permission to create the directory.
  • The directory must be accessible to all hosts in the network region of the local host.
  • The directory must not be within a Windows special share, such as the share that is designated by drive $ and allows an administrator to gain access to a drive over the network.
  • The directory must be on a computer that supports local VOBs.

    For example, you cannot specify a VOB storage directory on a Windows computer that does not support local VOBs.

  • The directory must not be within an existing VOB storage directory.
  • The directory must not be within a folder or drive that represents a view.

    For a snapshot view, this includes the view root directory in the file system.

    For a dynamic view, this includes any drives mapped to that view and the dynamic views root directory (which is typically mapped to drive M).
