Disable backups until:

Makes the specified clients in the General tab unavailable for backups until the specified date and time. By default, clients are online and included in the policies in which they are listed.

When Disable backups until is selected for a client, no jobs are scheduled for that client. Since the client is not part of any job, no backup status is listed for the client.

If a client is taken offline, any job is allowed to complete that includes the client and is already running.

If a backup or restore job is manually submitted for a client that is offline, the Activity monitor displays the job as failed with a status code 1000 (Client is offline).

The ability to take clients offline is useful in a number of situations.

See Offline option usage considerations and restrictions.

Disable restores until:

Makes the specified clients in the General tab unavailable for restores until the specified date and time. By default, clients are online and available for restore.

Maximum data streams

Specifies the maximum number of jobs that are allowed at one time for each selected client. (This value applies to the number of jobs on the client, even if multistreaming is not used.)

To change the setting, select Maximum data streams. Then scroll to or enter a value up to 99.

Browse and restore

Specifies the client permissions to list and restore backups and archives. Select the clients in the General tab of the Client attributes and choose a Browse and restore property.

To use the Global client attributes settings, select Use global settings.

Browse and restore scheduled backups

Specifies whether the clients can list and restore from scheduled backups. (This setting does not affect user backups and archives.)

This property applies to the privileges that are allowed to a non-Windows administrator or non-root user who is logged into the client. This property also applies to the users that do not have backup and restore privileges.

Windows administrators and root users can list and restore from scheduled backups as well as user backups regardless of the Browse and restore scheduled backups setting.

Deduplication

Specifies the deduplication action for clients if you use the NetBackup Data Protection Optimization Option.

For a description of the client-side deduplication options and their actions:
