Disabling Snapshot Manager snapshots
Use the following procedure to disable Snapshot Manager snapshots.
Warning:
All features of Snapshot Manager depend on snapshots. Clearing the check box disables all features of Snapshot Manager, such as off-host backup and Instant Recovery. Backups that depend on these features are disabled.
To disable Snapshot Manager snapshots for individual clients
- Determine which Snapshot Manager policies are configured for the clients on which you want to turn off snapshots.
- In the NetBackup Administration Console, click NetBackup Management > Policies.
- In the All Policies pane, double-click a Snapshot Manager policy.
- In the Snapshot Manager pane of the Attributes tab, clear the check box for Perform block level incremental backups.
- In the same pane, clear the check box for Perform snapshot backups.
Note:
Note the following regarding FlashBackup
If the policy type is FlashBackup-Windows, select a non-FlashBackup policy type, such as MS-Windows, which clears the check box.
If the policy type is FlashBackup and the policy was configured to use the snapctl driver for Solaris clients or VxFS snap driver for HP clients (with CACHE= entries in the Backup Selections tab): select a non-FlashBackup policy type, such as . Otherwise, the policy continues to create snapshots even though the check box is cleared.
Backups of raw partitions using policy types other than FlashBackup or FlashBackup-Windows do not allow individual file restore. Individual file restore from a raw partition backup is a feature of FlashBackup.
