Creating table-specific purge policy

By default, the Reports Database Manager deletes all records that are older than 31 days. You can override this behavior with a custom age-based or size-based purge policy for the individual report tables.

NetVault Backup supports table-specific purge policies for the following report tables: driveevents, events, mediacapacities, mediarequests, mediatransfers, driveperformance, and jobfiletallies. These tables are used to store statistical data produced by backups, media usage and drive activities.

To create a purge policy for individual report tables:
1
In the Navigation pane, click Change Settings.
2
On the Configuration page, click Server Settings.
3
Under User Interface, click Reporting. In the Reporting dialog box, under Tables, configure the following settings.

Configuring NetVault Backup to use a specific VSS provider

When performing VSS-based backups, NetVault Backup uses the default VSS provider as determined by VSS. To use a specific VSS provider, you can configure the provider ID in the vss.cfg file.

To configure NetVault Backup to use a specific VSS provider:
1
On the NetVault Backup Client on which you want to run the VSS-based backup, open the vss.cfg file. This file resides in the config subdirectory under the NetVault Backup installation directory.
If the vss.cfg file does not exist on the server or client machine, manually create the file in the config directory.
2
Add the following section:
[Provider]
name = <VSS provider name>
type = <Provider type>
ID = {<Provider ID/GUID}
Version = <Provider version>
Example:
[Provider]
name = Microsoft Software Shadow Copy provider 1.0
type = System
ID = {b5946137-7b9f-4925-af80-51abd60b20d5}
Version = 1.0.0.7
3
Save and close the file.
 
* 
IMPORTANT:  
•
When you specify a provider ID (GUID), NetVault Backup does not perform any checks to determine if the provider is registered, installed, or capable of performing snapshot for a volume.
•
If NetVault Backup is unable to properly read or parse the provider ID, the VSS backup continues with the default provider as normally determined by VSS.

Configuring default settings using Txtconfig

The Txtconfig utility provides a text-based interface to customize various settings for the server and client machines. This utility is available on all supported operating systems. The Txtconfig utility resides in the bin directory under the NetVault Backup installation directory.

•
Set the font type to Lucida Console: Open a command prompt window. Click the Control Menu icon in upper-left corner or right-click the title bar, and select Properties. In the Properties dialog box, click the Font tab, and select Lucida Console in the Font list.
•
Set the code page to 1252: In the command prompt window where you want to run Txtconfig, type the following command:
chcp 1252

These settings are necessary to display the text correctly in the command prompt window.
