Login Banner Configuration properties

Note:

These settings can also be configured in the NetBackup web UI.

Use the Login Banner Configuration properties to configure a banner screen that appears each time a user logs into the NetBackup Administration Console or the Backup, Archive, and Restore client.

A different login banner can be configured for any master server, media server, or client. By default, no banner heading or text is configured so no banner appears to the user.
