backup_root_dir

This is the parameter that is used only by BRBACKUP to identify the directories in which database backups to disk are performed. In exceptions – for example, parameter archive_copy_dir is not defined – BRARCHIVE also uses the directories defined in this parameter if disk backup is required. If you enter more than one directory, you must enclose the names in parentheses and separate them by commas.

If you do not have enough storage space in one of the directories on your disk, make sure that you provide directories on other disks and add their names in <dir_list>. BRBACKUP then uses these directories for database backup.
