Clean-up properties
The properties in the NetBackup Administration Console refer to the retention of various logs and incomplete jobs. The properties apply to currently selected master servers.
The Clean-up dialog box contains the following properties.
Table: Clean-up dialog box properties
Property | Description |
|---|
Keep true image restoration information | Specifies the number of days to keep true image restore information on disk. After the specified number of days, the images are pruned (removed). Applies to all policies for which NetBackup collects true image restore information. The default is one day. When NetBackup performs a true image backup, it stores the following images on the backup media: NetBackup also stores the true image restore information on disk in the following directories: On Windows: install_path\NetBackup\db\images On UNIX: /usr/openv/netbackup/db/images
NetBackup retains the information for the number of days that this property specifies.
Keeping the information on disk speeds up restores. If a user requests a true image restore after the information was deleted from disk, NetBackup retrieves the required information from the media. The only noticeable difference to the user is a slight increase in total restore time. NetBackup deletes the additional information from disk again after one day.

Move restore job from incomplete state to done state | Indicates the number of days that a failed restore job can remain in an Incomplete state. After that time, the Activity Monitor shows the job as Done. The default is 7 days. The maximum setting is 365 days. If Checkpoint Restart for restores is used, the Restore retries property allows a failed restore job to be retried automatically. See Universal Settings properties. See Checkpoint restart for restore jobs.

Move backup job from incomplete state to done state |
Indicates the maximum number of hours that a failed backup job can remain in an incomplete state. After that time, the Activity Monitor shows the job as Done. The minimum setting is 1 hour. The maximum setting is 72 hours. The default is 3 hours. When an active job has an error, the job goes into an Incomplete state. In the Incomplete state, the administrator can correct the condition that caused the error. If an Incomplete job does not complete successfully and is moved to the Done state, the job retains the error status. A resumed job reuses the same job ID, but a restarted job receives a new job ID. The job details indicate that the job was resumed or restarted. This property does not apply to suspended jobs. Suspended jobs must be resumed manually before the retention period of the job is met and the image expires. If a suspended job is resumed after the retention period is met, the job fails and is moved to the Done state. |
Image cleanup interval | Specifies the maximum interval that can elapse before an image cleanup is run. Image cleanup is run after every successful backup session (that is, a session in which at least one backup runs successfully). If a backup session exceeds this maximum interval, an image cleanup is initiated. |
Catalog cleanup wait time | Specifies the minimum interval that can elapse before an image cleanup is run. Image cleanup is not run after a successful backup session until this minimum interval has elapsed since the previous image cleanup. |
