When you move buffer files, the collector is stopped, and after the buffer files are moved, it is restarted .

  5. In the TARGET LOCATION box, enter the path of the folder to which you want to move the buffer files.
  6. If the collector is running in the command-line mode, enter values in the Username and Password fields, and then select Move Buffer.
