D
The time period must always be greater than 0. The default is 2 tries in 12
hours.
Duration to Retain Logs
Specifies the length of time, in days, that the master server keeps its error
database, job database, and activity log information. NetBackup derives the
Backup Status, Problems, All Log Entries, and Media Log Entries reports from
its error database, so this attribute limits the time period that these reports can
cover.
Keep the logs as long as you need them to evaluate failures. For example, if
you check the backups every day you can delete the logs sooner than if you
check them once a month. However, the logs can consume a lot of disk space
so do not keep them any longer than necessary.
The minimum setting is 0 days. The default is 28 days.
Enforce Media Mount Timeout
Specifies the number of minutes that NetBackup waits for the requested media
to be mounted, positioned, and ready on backups and restores. Use this
timeout to eliminate excessive waits when it is necessary to manually mount
media (for example, when robotic media is out of the robot or off site).
The default value for Media Mount Timeout is 0 (no timeout). If you do not
specify 0, the value must be 5 minutes or greater.
When restoring backups or archives that were written to a disk being managed
by Storage Migrator on a UNIX server, the Media Mount Timeout value is in
effect during the caching of potentially migrated files. If a file is part of a large
disk image that Storage Migrator has migrated to tape, there must be enough
time to cache in the entire disk file.
Interval for Status Reports
Specifies the default time period during which NetBackup accumulates
information to put into a report. For example, a setting of 8 hours provides a
report covering the previous 8 hour period.
The minimum setting is 1 hour. The default is 24 hours.
