Disable backup anomaly detection and computation of entropy and file attributes for a client

You can disable backup anomaly detection and computation of entropy and file attributes for certain NetBackup clients.

To disable backup anomaly detection and computation of entropy and file attributes

  1. On the left, click Detection and reporting > Anomaly detection.
  2. On the top right, click Anomaly detection settings > Backup anomaly detection settings.
  3. Expand the Advanced settings section.
  4. Select the respective Edit option to modify Disable anomaly settings for clients.
  5. On the Disable anomaly settings for clients pop-up screen, specify the NetBackup client for which you do not want to generate anomalies and compute entropy.
  6. In the search results, click the Add to list option next to the required client.
  7. Select Save.

    The selected clients are added in the excluded clients' list.

    Note:

    After the client is excluded or included again, the computation of entropy and file attributes stops or starts within the next 24 hours with the new backup jobs.
