About snapshot view storage directories
Every snapshot view has a view storage directory in addition to the directory tree of source files that it loads from VOBs. The snapshot view storage directory is used to keep track of information such as which files are loaded into your view and which versions are checked out. The view storage directory is for HCL VersionVault administrative purposes only. Do not modify it.
For every 1,000 elements loaded into the view, about 400 KB of disk space are used for a snapshot view storage directory.
HCL VersionVault: Locations for view storage directories
Usually, your HCL VersionVault administrator sets up a server storage location, which is a directory on an HCL VersionVault server host or on a host that can access a location on a supported Network Attached Storage (NAS) device, which contains the view storage directory. By default, snapshot view storage directories are created in the server storage location. If your HCL VersionVault administrator sets up multiple storage locations, one of these locations is selected as the default when you create a view.
You can override the default and locate the view storage directory under the root directory of the snapshot view or in another directory that you specify. To do this on Windows® systems, your HCL VersionVault host must be set up to store view storage directories (which happens when you install HCL VersionVault). If you choose to locate the view storage directory under the root directory of the view or in another directory, you should verify that the view storage directory is accessible to any data backup schemes your organization institutes.
If your HCL VersionVault administrator does not set up server storage locations, you can either locate the view storage directory under the root directory of the snapshot view or specify another directory.
