Client Settings properties for UNIX clients
Note:
The UNIX properties can be configured on the NetBackup web UI. On the left pane, select . Next, select the UNIX clients. From the Actions menu, select , and then click .
The UNIX Client Settings properties in the NetBackup Administration Console apply to currently selected NetBackup clients running on the UNIX platform.
The UNIX Client Settings dialog box contains the following properties.

Property | Description |
|---|---|
Locked file action | Determines what happens when NetBackup tries to back up a file with mandatory file locking enabled in its file mode. Select one of the following options:
|
Keep status of user-directed backups, archives, and restores | Specifies the number of days to keep progress reports before the reports are deleted. The default is 3 days. The minimum is 0. The maximum is 9,999 days. Logs for user-directed operations are stored on the client system in the following directory: install_path\NetBackup\logs\user_ops\loginID\logs |
Specifies that the access time (atime) for a file displays the backup time. By default, NetBackup preserves the access time by resetting it to the value it had before the backup. Note: This setting affects the software and the administration scripts that examine a file's access time. Note: | |
Megabytes of memory to use for file compression | Specifies the amount of memory available on the client when files are compressed during backup. If you select compression, the client software uses this value to determine how much space to request for the compression tables. The more memory that is available to compress code, the greater the compression and the greater the percentage of computer resources that are used. If other processes also need memory, use a maximum value of half the actual physical memory on a computer to avoid excessive swapping. The default is 0. This default is reasonable; change it only if problems are encountered. |
Determines if NetBackup uses the File Change Log on VxFS clients. The default is off. | |

Corresponds to adding a COMPRESS_SUFFIX =.suffix option to the bp.conf file. Specifies a list of file extensions. During a backup, NetBackup does not compress files with these extensions because the file may already be in a compressed format. Do not use wildcards to specify these extensions. For example, .A1 is allowed, but not .A* or .A[1-9] Files that are already compressed become slightly larger if compressed again. If compressed files with a unique file extension already exist on a UNIX client, exclude it from compression by adding it to this list. | |
Adds file endings to the list of file endings that you do not want to compress. Click , then type the file extension in the File Endings dialog box. Use commas or spaces to separate file endings if more than one is added. Click to add the ending to the list, then click to close the dialog box. | |
Adds a file extension that you do not want to compress, to the lists of all clients. To add the file extension to the lists of all clients, select it in the list on the Client Settings host property, then click . | |
Removes a file extension from the list. To remove a name, either type it in the box or click the browse button (...) and select a file ending. Use commas or spaces to separate names. |
