Use the Database Image page of the Backup Database SmartGuide to specify where to backup this database.
To prevent a media failure from destroying a database and your ability to rebuild it, you should keep the database backup image, the database logs, and the database itself (table spaces) on different devices. For this reason, it is highly recommended that you use the NEWLOGPATH configuration parameter to put database logs on a separate device once the database is created.
Also consider the amount of space you may require to recover your database before you have a failure. The database restore requires space to hold the backup image of the database and the restored database. The roll-forward requires space to hold the backup image of the database, the restored database, and the archived database logs.
