Controlling disk space for track logs on primary server

To proceed with an accelerator enabled backup, NetBackup anticipates a disk-full situation due to track log processing. Accelerator track logs on the primary server can become a problem with less free space.

By default, NetBackup prevents an accelerator backup, if there is less than 5 GB or 5% of free space on the system.

NetBackup provides two configuration settings to control the amount of free disk space on a host for an accelerator backup to start:

The default value for each setting is 5120 MB and 5%, respectively. These values can be setup on the primary bp.conf for the backup to fail fast in case of insufficient space.
