Veritas NetBackup™ Deduplication Guide

Deleting an MSDP host configuration file

You may need to delete the configuration file from the deduplication hosts. For example, to reconfigure your deduplication environment or disaster recovery may require that you delete the configuration file on the servers on which it exists.

To delete the host configuration file

  • Delete the file on the deduplication host; its location depends on the operating system type, as follows:

    UNIX: /usr/openv/lib/ost-plugins

    Windows: install_path\Veritas\NetBackup\bin\ost-plugins

    The following is an example of the host configuration file name of a server that has a fully qualified domain name:

    DedupeServer.example.com.cfg
