This property specifies the maximum number of vault jobs that are allowed to be active on the master server. The greater the maximum number of vault jobs, the more system resources are used. If the active vault jobs limit is reached, subsequent vault jobs are queued and their status is shown as Queued in the Activity Monitor. If a duplication job or eject job waits, its status is shown as Active in the Activity Monitor. See About the Jobs tab. | |
This property specifies the addresses where NetBackup sends notifications of scheduled backups or administrator-directed manual backups. To send the information to more than one administrator, separate multiple email addresses by using a comma, as follows: useraccount1@company.com,useraccount2@company.com More information is available on the configuration requirements for email notifications. See Send notifications to the backup administrator about failed backups. |
