Table: General tab properties

Property	Description
Offline Backups until:	Makes the specified clients in the General tab unavailable for backups until the specified date and time. By default, clients are online and included in the policies in which they are listed. When Offline Backups until is selected for a client, no jobs are scheduled for that client. Since the client is not part of any job, no backup status is listed for the client. If a client is taken offline, any job that includes the client and is already running is allowed to complete. If a backup or restore job is manually submitted for a client that is offline, the Activity Monitor displays the job as failed with a status code 1000 (Client is offline). Note: Changes to this property do not appear in the audit report. The ability to take clients offline is useful in a number of situations. See Offline option usage considerations and restrictions.
Offline Restores until:	Makes the specified clients in the General tab unavailable for restores until the specified date and time. By default, clients are online and available for restore.
Maximum data streams	Specifies the maximum number of jobs that are allowed at one time for each selected client. (This value applies to the number of jobs on the client, even if multistreaming is not used.) To change the setting, select Maximum data streams. Then scroll to or enter a value up to 99. The Maximum data streams property interacts with Maximum jobs per client and Limit jobs per policy as follows: If the Maximum data streams property is not set, the limit is either the one indicated by the Maximum jobs per client property or the Limit jobs per policy property, whichever is lower. If the Maximum data streams property is set, NetBackup ignores the Maximum jobs per client property. NetBackup uses either Maximum data streams or Limit jobs per policy, whichever is lower.
Browse and restore ability	Specifies the client permissions to list and restore backups and archives. Select the client(s) in the General tab of the Client Attributes dialog box and choose a Browse and restore ability property. To use the Global client attributes settings, select Use global settings. To allow users on the selected clients to both browse and restore, select Allow both. To allow users on the selected clients to browse but not restore, select Allow browse only. To prevent users on the selected clients from the ability to browse or restore, select Deny both.
Free browse	Specifies whether the clients can list and restore from scheduled backups. (This setting does not affect user backups and archives.) This property applies to the privileges that are allowed to a non-Windows administrator or non-root user who is logged into the client. This property also applies to the users that do not have backup and restore privileges. Windows administrators and root users can list and restore from scheduled backups as well as user backups regardless of the Free browse setting.
Deduplication	Specifies the deduplication action for clients if you use the NetBackup Data Protection Optimization Option. For a description of the client-side deduplication options and their actions: See Where deduplication should occur.
