DATAACCESS_AUDIT_INTERVAL_HOURS for NetBackup master servers

Use the DATAACCESS_AUDIT_INTERVAL_HOURS option to set an interval to periodically add audit records for the browse image (bplist) operations into the NetBackup database.

Consider the following example:

The DATAACCESS_AUDIT_INTERVAL_HOURS option is set to 2 hours. All the audit records for the bplist operations are cached for 2 hours. One of the many similar bplist audit records is identified and is added into the database every 2 hours. This option prevents the database size from increasing exponentially because of the bplist audit records.

To add all the bplist audit records from the cache into the NetBackup database, run the following command on the master server:

nbcertcmd -postAudit -dataAccess

Table: DATAACCESS_AUDIT_INTERVAL_HOURS information

Usage

Description

Where to use

On master server.

How to use

Use the nbgetconfig and the nbsetconfig commands to view, add, or change the option.

For information about these commands, see the NetBackup Commands Reference Guide.

Use the following format:

GENERIC_KEY_VAL_LIST = (DATAACCESS_AUDIT_INTERVAL_HOURS)(time in hours)

The default interval is 1 hour.

Equivalent Administration Console property
