Table: Universal settings properties
Property | Description |
|---|---|
Restore retries | This setting applies to the selected server or client. Specifies the number of attempts a client has to restore after a failure. (The default is 0; the client does not attempt to retry a restore. The client can try up to three times.) Change Restore retries only if problems are encountered. If a job fails after the maximum number of retries, the job goes into an incomplete state. The job remains in the incomplete state as determined by the Move restore job from incomplete state to done state property. See Clean up properties. A checkpointed job is retried from the start of the last checkpointed file rather than at the beginning of the job. Checkpoint restart for restore jobs allows a NetBackup administrator to resume a failed restore job from the Activity Monitor. |
Browse timeframe for restores | This setting applies to the selected server and applies to all NetBackup clients. Specifies the timeframe that NetBackup uses to search for files to restore. By default, NetBackup includes files from the time of the last-full backup through the latest backup for the client.
|
Use specified network interface | This setting applies to the selected server or client. Specifies the network interface that NetBackup uses to connect to another NetBackup client or server. A NetBackup client or server can have more than one network interface. To force NetBackup connections to be made on a specific network interface, use this entry to specify the network host name of that interface. By default, the operating system determines the one to use. |
Allow server file writes | This setting applies to the selected server or client. Specifies whether a NetBackup server can create or modify files on the NetBackup client. For example, disable this property to prevent server-directed restores and remote changes to the client properties. After the property is applied, it can be cleared only by modifying the client configuration. The default is that server writes are allowed. |
Administrator | This setting applies to the selected server or client. Specifies whether the server or the client sends email.
|
Client administrator's email | Specifies the email address of the administrator on the client. This address is where NetBackup sends backup status reports for the client. By default, no email is sent. To enter multiple addresses or email aliases, separate entries with commas. |
