Modifying bp.conf to configure busy file processing on UNIX
Use the following procedure to modify the bp.conf file to configure busy file processing.
To modify the bp.conf file to configure busy file processing
- Configure busy file processing by using the Busy File Settings host properties for UNIX clients.
- Or, configure busy file processing by using the entries in the bp.conf file on the client. The user can also configure a bp.conf file in a home directory. The busy file options that are specified in the user's bp.conf file apply only to user-directed backups. NetBackup ignores busy file processing for user backups if a bp.conf file does not exist in their home directory.
The bp.conf file entries to use are as follows:
BUSY_FILE_PROCESSING
BUSY_FILE_DIRECTORY
BUSY_FILE_ACTION
