INITIAL_BROWSE_SEARCH_LIMIT option for NetBackup servers and clients
This option specifies the number of days back that NetBackup searches for files to restore. It can improve performance when large numbers of backups are performed.
Table: INITIAL_BROWSE_SEARCH_LIMIT information
Usage | Description |
|---|---|
Where to use | On NetBackup primary servers or clients. |
How to use | Use the nbgetconfig and the nbsetconfig commands to view, add, or change the option. For information about these commands, see the NetBackup Commands Reference Guide. Use the following format: INITIAL_BROWSE_SEARCH_LIMIT = number_of_days The default is that NetBackup includes files from the time of the last full backup through the latest backup for the client. If the client belongs to more than one policy the browse starts with the earliest of the set of last full backups. This entry should appear only once in the configuration file. When this option is specified on a UNIX client, it applies only to that client. The option can reduce the size of the Search window from what is specified on the server (the client setting cannot make the window larger). |
Example | The following example limits the browse range to the seven days before the current date. INITIAL_BROWSE_SEARCH_LIMIT = 7 |
