Disabling DAR for directory restores only

This procedure disables DAR for directory restores only. It leaves DAR enabled for individual file restores.

To disable DAR on restores of directories only, for all NDMP policies

  1. Enter the string NDMP_DAR_DIRECTORY_DISABLED in the following file:
    /usr/openv/netbackup/db/config/ndmp.cfg
  2. To turn on directory DAR, remove (or comment out) the NDMP_DAR_DIRECTORY_DISABLED string from the ndmp.cfg file.
