Below mentioned properties are set by default, however, you may need to configure or tune these if required.

• The Allow client restore property. The BMR restore process requires that both the BMR master server and the BMR client can request restores. The default NetBackup behavior is to allow client restores. The Allow client restore property is located on the Client Attributes tab of the NetBackup master server properties.

• Server-directed restores. Configure the NetBackup clients for server-directed restores, which allows the master server to redirect restores of client files to it. Server-directed restores are the default NetBackup behavior; ensure that server-directed restores are allowed. For more information, see the NetBackup Administrator's Guide, Volume I.

• The Keep true image restoration (TIR) information property. This property controls how long TIR information is retained in the NetBackup catalog. TIR information increases catalog size and the disk space that is uses.

  The following settings are your options:

  • Choose a value for this attribute to match the retention policy.

  • Alternatively, if you want to minimize the size of the NetBackup catalog, set the attribute to zero days. The TIR information is also stored on the backup media, so the catalog size does not increase but restores are slower.

  Set the Keep true image restoration (TIR) information property on the Clean-up tab of the NetBackup master server properties.
