You can change the drives names of the restored metadata by editing the TakeMetaDataBackUp.bat file available in the path C:\Install\MaxproNVRTaskSchedules\MetaDataBackup. In this file, change the drive names corresponding to the following parameters: set drive=D:\REIPEngineMetaData and set drivebkUp=D:\REIPEngineMetaDataBackUp as applicable. Before changing the drive names, ensure that you create the folders REIPEngineMetaData and REIPEngineMetaDataBackUp in the respective drives that you are changing.
