Section 3 Menu Functions
Files: The Backup Selections list must specify directories from the perspective of the NDMP
host. Two examples:
/home/dir1/
/vol1
The following Backup Selections capabilities are NOT supported for an NDMP policy:
Wildcards in pathnames. For example, /home/* is an invalid entry.
Individual file names. Only directory or volume names are allowed.
Exclude list (because client software is not installed on the NDMP host).
You can specify any of the following backup types in a schedule for an NDMP policy:
Full
Cumulative Incremental
Differential Incremental
Specify Override policy storage unit only if this client of NetBackup (the NDMP host) has more than one
storage unit and you want to use a specific storage unit for this schedule. In this case, the client must
be the only client in this NDMP policy.
Customize server preferences.
By default NetBackup for NDMP is configured to use Direct Access Recovery (DAR). For each restore,
NetBackup automatically determines if the use of DAR will speed up the restore. NetBackup uses DAR
only when it will result in a faster restore. DAR can be turned off if desired. This may be necessary if
you are having problems with DAR and your NDMP host is an older machine or is not running the latest
NAS OS version. NetBackup restricts maximum files with DAR to 1024.
To change DAR setting in the NetBackup Administration Console, expand Host Properties and click on
Master Servers or Media Servers. Right-click on the name of the server and select Properties.
