Communications Buffer Size
Applies to Microsoft Windows clients and specifies the size (in kilobytes) of the
TCP/IP buffers used to transfer data between the NetBackup server and client.
For example, specify 10 for a buffer size of 10 kilobytes. The minimum
allowable value is 2. If you specify a number less than 2, buffer size is set to 2.
There is no maximum allowable value. The default is 32.
Perform Default Search
Applies to Microsoft Windows clients. Selecting this option causes NetBackup
to automatically search the default range of backup images and display the
backed up folders and files whenever a restore window is opened.
Clear this box to disable the initial search. The NetBackup Restore window will
then not show any files or folders when initially opened. Clicking a backup
image, or selecting a range of backup images, starts a search.
By default, this box is selected.
Case Sensitive Exclude List
Applies to Microsoft Windows clients and makes the exclude and include lists
case sensitive. Using case-sensitive include and exclude lists can improve
performance. Clear the check box to make the lists not case sensitive (default).
Case sensitive means that when comparing the contents of the exclude and
include file to the files that are being backed up, a match occurs only when the
capitalization is the same (for example, Cat matches Cat but not cat). Not case-
sensitive means capitalization is not considered when comparing names (for
example, Cat matches cat).
Virus Scan Tab
The Virus Scan tab applies to Windows NT, 98, and 95 clients and defines how
NetBackup scans for viruses. NetBackup can be set to scan files for viruses
prior to backing up or restoring them. If viruses are detected, the infected files
can optionally be cleaned to prevent corrupting systems that restore the files.
Files with the following conditions are not scanned for viruses:
• Fully qualified file names longer than 256 characters
