013 - How to configure the ESE Agent's working folder

To change the location of the working folder:

1. Open the ESE Agent and go to Tools > Options > Advanced.
2. Under Working Folder, click Change and select a new location.

To configure the cache: 

1. Open the ESE Agent and go to Tools > Options > Advanced.
2. Under Working Folder, select one of the options for Cache Indexes and click OK.

We recommend retaining the default selection (until rolled up) as cached indexes make for faster browsing when it comes to file-level restores.

The cache keeps a local, compressed and encrypted, copy of the selected files for a specified number of days. The more days retained in the cache, the better the chances are that patches instead of full files are sent during backup. Warning: Specifying a cache retention of "0" will result in patching being disabled. This is not recommended.
