snapshots in a different location
on esxi 5, is still possible to allow VMS create snapshots to one another location other than where they are stored, or if this option has been removed in 5?
The continuum mentioned parameter takes precedence over the workingdir. Please make sure that you are aware of the consequences before adding/configuration for this setting (see http://kb.vmware.com/kb/2007563 as well as the links in the article)

Create snapshots at a different location
Hi folk, I'm new here on the forum and I need help with my problem. I'm following the steps in this tutorial:
VMware KB: Create snapshots in a different location of the virtual directory by default
I did all the steps, however, I don't see the line I added in by vSphere .vmx file, as you can see on the picture:
In the last line should has the following parameter: Workingdir: vmfs/volumes / < datastorename > /...
-Does anyone know what could be the problem? Or is this normal of the hypervisor?
Thank for the help.
PS: VSphere that I use is the 5.0.
Not all of the entries in the virtual machine configuration (.vmx) file may be changed in the advanced settings. Some of them are excluded for various reasons. Change the settings of the CLI, and don't forget to reload the .vmx once done.
BTW. Remember that virtual disks with snapshots are used as channels, i.e. each link in the chain is active and create snapshots of slower discs can reduce the performance of virtual machines.

Can / should you store old pictures in a different location or at all?
My question is whether I can or must store the old clichés? And if so I must keep up with the latest snapshot or can they be stored in a different location?
Snapshots in VMware products are used as strings, i.e. every snapshot/virtual drive is in use. No snapshots move towards others would break the chain of snapshot and make the unusable virtual computer. Please take a look at for example VMware KB: understand the clichés of the virtual machine in VMware ESXi and ESX for more details on the functioning of the snapshots.

Snapshot of a different data store
Hello
Quick question for the community.
Suppose I have 2 data warehouses and A VM is located in the data store 1. I can take a snapshot of the machine and I have this snapshot can be found on the data store 2?
My understanding was I could not easily do this but our service provider said that's the way it works and I'll try to find a documented method, support to do so.
All responses will be appreciated.
Kind regards
Richard
Incorrect, it is advisable, and applies by default to store the snapshots in the same data store in which the VMDK resides in, but he did not.
You can edit the .vmx VM to store snapshots on a different data store, this can be useful if you run lack of space on the data store, which resides in your virtual machine.
Please refer to this VMware KB on the configuration of this change: http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1002929

The same drive letter may point to different locations for different processes?
The same drive letter may point to different locations for different processes?
Our users have the E: drive mapped to one place. But I need a scheduled task in order to use the E: drive to point to a different location at the same time, without affecting the mapping of moose for logged in users.
There is no work around this need of ours. This is because users are working 24 X 7 update of our data files on the E: drive, and a log file is made. We plan prevent users for a minute every night while move us / save the log file and then allow users of the resume and allow a new log file to create. Then take the saved log file and apply it to a real set of monthly backup of data files, so the backup files will be ready for a recovery after disaster. The program that applies the transactions recorded in the data files is able to apply operations to files that are considered as being in the same exact location.
I know that's not possible without resorting to the application logs a set of files on a completely different machine. But I ask.
Thank you
Dan

4. When did you start to question?

Cannot specify a different location for multiple-image backups.
I want to record several image files on an external drive (which can contain a large amount of data)... It was suggested to specify a different location for the second image... but when I run the process of backup image... first a screen shows my external drive where the image will be stored... but then the screens seem to just continue to do a backup. I don't see any place where I can change the location of the image... It keeps on the re-write on the last saved... image I think that maybe you can change the location of the regular backups... but not for the image file... its on another screen or buried somewhere... the help screen with "attention, images can be replaced" is meaningless for me... I thought he said that it would only replace old images if there is not enuf room on the disc.
thanx
Steve
Hello bichon,
Thanks for posting on the Microsoft answers Forum.
Look at the post below which asked questions on images and backup locations.
http://social.technet.Microsoft.com/forums/en/w7itprogeneral/thread/338e311d-c0fc-4c56-a4c2-b25a7028188b
With this option, below is where you can make changes.
Select the drive to destination or optical disk or network location to store backup files. (this is where I want to change the destination directory name).If please reply back and let us know if this helps answer your question.

Please forgive me for not knowing how to use this forum, I am an old man and not good at computers, I called Adobe, they said it was my only hope!
Sorry to repeat
Everything was fine until my Windows 10, lost the start feature, so I had to go back to Windows 7, in this process, I lost my Adobe Reader software, I tried about ten times with different versions and different locations, all with the same error message that is download "the feature you are trying to use is on an unavailable network resource"... are looking for It seems that it does not find when I search there, and I no longer seem to have the AcroRead.msi... the most difficult file, I try, I get deeper and deeper into things I don't know... I am looking for a simple solution!
When it gets to this point, it is probably better to start from scratch.
First of all, download, install and run Adobe Reader cleaning tool to get rid of all remains little. Here is a link to the tool: Download Adobe Reader and Acrobat tool - Adobe Labs
Then go to the following link to download the full installer for the reader.

You can move the inserted text to a different location on the picture, if yes how? How can I put the character and the Panel clause up in the photo shop when you type test?
Yes. I find it easier to type text, and then use the move tool (shortcut V) (looks like an arrow) to place it where you want.
To bring up the character and paragraph panels go to WINDOW > CHARACTER or WINDOW > PARAGRAPH.
I hope this helps.

Can I install Creative cloud on a different location on my computer
I need more space on my C drive, I tried to install Office on the D drive, I uninstalled the application, but it retains to install on my C drive, please help
The application of CC itself cannot be installed elsewhere. It will still install to the root of the system drive. You can, however, choose a different location for the main installers in the CC application settings after that.
