NBSD_EVIDENCE_SIZE_LIMIT option for NetBackup servers and clients

The NBSD_EVIDENCE_SIZE_LIMIT option defines the size limit in GB in the evidence folder. The value of 0 means no limitation on size.

Note:

If the size before the evidence captured is less than the set size, the evidence is captured and not stopped in between even if the size exceeds. The next evidence is not captured.
