Property | Description |
|---|---|
Locked file action | Determines what happens when NetBackup tries to back up a file with mandatory file locking enabled in its file mode. Select one of the following options:
|
Specifies the amount of memory available on the client when files are compressed during backup. If you select compression, the client software uses this value to determine how much space to request for the compression tables. The more memory that is available to compress code, the greater the compression and the greater the percentage of computer resources that are used. If other processes also need memory, use a maximum value of half the actual physical memory on a computer to avoid excessive swapping. The default is 0. This default is reasonable; change it only if problems are encountered. | |
Specifies that the access time (atime) for a file displays the backup time. By default, NetBackup preserves the access time by resetting it to the value it had before the backup. Note: This setting affects the software and the administration scripts that examine a file's access time. Note: If NetBackup Accelerator is used to perform the backup, this setting is ignored. Accelerator does not record and reset the atime for the files that it backs up. | |
Keep status of user-directed backups, archives, and restores | Specifies the number of days to keep progress reports before the reports are deleted. The default is 3 days. The minimum is 0. The maximum is 9,999 days. Logs for user-directed operations are stored on the client system in the following directory: install_path\NetBackup\logs\user_ops\loginID\logs |
Determines if NetBackup uses the File Change Log on VxFS clients. The default is off. | |
This setting identifies a raw partition available to the copy-on-write process. This raw partition is used when either or are selected as the snapshot method. The partition must exist on all the clients that are included in the policy. | |
Adds the file endings to the list of file endings that you do not want to compress. Click , then type the file extension. Click to add the ending to the list. | |
Specifies a list of file extensions. During a backup, NetBackup does not compress files with these extensions because the file may already be in a compressed format. Do not use wildcards to specify these extensions. For example, .A1 is allowed, but not .A* or .A[1-9] Files that are already compressed become slightly larger if compressed again. If compressed files with a unique file extension already exist on a UNIX client, exclude it from compression by adding it to this list. Corresponds to adding a COMPRESS_SUFFIX =.suffix option to the bp.conf file. |
