    Description

      Putting a head db on remote storage (regardless of filesystem) leads very quickly to either "my backups are slow" or "my backups don't work".

      In each of the 4 operating system-specific installation guides for Ops Manager, there's a step titled

      1. If you will run Ops Manager Backup, configure the Backup Daemon and Backup Storage.
        1. On each Ops Manager server that will be activated as a Backup Daemon, create the directory that will store the head databases. The directory must be:
          • A dedicated disk partition that is not be used for any other purpose.

      My request is to change the text

      > A dedicated disk partition that is not be used for any other purpose.

      to

      > A dedicated local disk partition that is not be used for any other purpose.
