INCOMPLETE_JOB_CLEAN_INTERVAL option for NetBackup servers and clients

This option indicates the number of days a failed restore job can remain in the incomplete state before it is moved to the done state.

Table: INCOMPLETE_JOB_CLEAN_INTERVAL information

Usage

Description

Where to use

On NetBackup master servers or clients.

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:

INCOMPLETE_JOB_CLEAN_INTERVAL = number_of_days

The default is 7 days.

Where x is a value between 0 and 365. A value of 0 indicates that failed, incomplete jobs are never automatically moved to the done state.

This entry should appear only once in the configuration file.

Equivalent Administration Console property

NetBackup Management > Host Properties > Master Servers or Clients > Double-click on server > Clean-up > Move restore job from incomplete state to done state.

See Clean-up properties.
