ReorgBackupDirectory

String (disk-path)

Database directory

Purpose

The ReorgBackupDirectory parameter specifies the backup directory into which are placed the temporary backups (.bak files) of the original database files (.dat files) that are modified by the reorganization or compaction.

If the parameter is not specified, the database directory (system) is assumed.

Hint

This parameter is useful for reducing the database volume free disk space requirements of reorganizations or compactions, by locating the directory on a different physical volume to the database.
