The nrtablepath option specifies the location of the node replication table on the client. The backup-archive client uses this table to store information about each backup or archive operation to the Tivoli® Storage Manager server.
The server to which you back up your data must be a Tivoli Storage Manager V7.1 server that replicates client node data to the secondary server.
When a failover occurs, the information that is on the secondary server might not be the most recent version if replication did not happen before the failover. The client can compare the information in the node replication table against the information that is on the secondary server to determine whether the backup on the server is the most recent backup version.
Supported Clients
This option is valid for all clients.
Options File
Place this option in the client
system-options file (dsm.sys).
Place this option in the client options file (dsm.opt).
This option can also be configured in the client option set on the Tivoli Storage Manager server.

as a temporary directory. Most non-root users do not have access to
the client installation directory. Restriction: The node
replication table cannot be created in the root directory (/).
If you choose to specify a location for the node replication table,
do not specify the root directory. Restriction: The node replication table cannot be created in
the C:\ directory. If you choose to specify a
