How to disable Windows Open File Backups globally

Hello,

NetBackup uses the following Windows Open File Backup defaults for all Windows clients: Windows Open File Backup is enabled on the client.
Is it possible to change this default setting to Windows Open File Backup is DISABLED on the client?

Regards,

Lubos

  • well, it is not a click.

    you have to use the bpclient command for every client.

    1. you have to find if a client is in the master server's  "client attributes list " and by the world client I mean the client host name in every form that appear to netbackup (sort, FQDN, upper/lower )
      If the following command has output then the client exists
      bpclient -client <client_name> -l
    2. If the client does not exists in the master server's  "client attributes list " , you have to add him using the command
      bpclient -client <client name> -add
    3. change the open file attribute with the command
      bpclient -client <client name> -WOFB_enabled 0

      for new clients, you can combine 2 and 3 with the command
      bpclient -client <client name> -add -WOFB_enabled 0

      I'm not sure what will happen to other settings if you run the command with  -add to an existing <client_name>

  • open java and go to

    host properties -> master server -> select master server and click properties
    go to client properties -> select or add the client and go to the third tab

      The customer has many clients and does not want to set each client individually. Is it possible to make global change?
