Where to use | On NetBackup servers or clients. |
How to use | Use the nbgetconfig and the nbsetconfig commands to view, add, or change the option. For information about these commands, see the NetBackup Commands Reference Guide. Initially, the bp.conf file does not contain KEEP_LOGS_SIZE_GB entry. Enable the option in the dialog box on the NetBackup Administration Console to set the log retention in GB. A corresponding entry is added in the bp.conf file as follows: KEEP_LOGS_SIZE_GB = 25 If you disable the option, the bp.conf file shows the corresponding entry as follows: KEEP_LOGS_SIZE_GB = 0 To set it to a different value, update the bp.conf file using the nbsetconfig command. Use the following format to set KEEP_LOGS_SIZE_GB to a new value in the bp.conf file: KEEP_LOGS_SIZE_GB = X 'X' indicates the log size in GB. Note: For NetBackup servers, the recommended value for the KEEP_LOGS_SIZE_GB option is 25 GB or greater. For NetBackup clients, the recommended value for the KEEP_LOGS_SIZE_GB option is 5 GB or greater. This entry should appear only once in the bp.conf configuration file. |
