Configuring default interval for backup retirement scans

In time-based retirement, the time component (HH:MM) does not represent the actual retirement time. This component only represents the time due for backup retirement. The actual time of retirement is determined by the interval at which Media Manager scans the Media Database to identify the backups that it needs to retire. The default interval between two scans is 60 minutes. Thus, if the retirement time is set to 10:20, the backup is actually retired at 11:00.

You can change the default interval for backup retirement scans in the mediamgr.cfg file.

1
Open the mediamgr.cfg file in a text editor. You can find this file in the config directory under the NetVault Backup installation directory.
By default, the mediamgr.cfg file does not include the [Defaults:Retirement Check Granularity in Mins] section. To change the default interval, you must add this section and specify the interval. If you do not add the section, the default interval (60 minutes) is used.

Configuring an alternate index read block size for Quest DR Series systems

If a backup stored on a Quest DR Series system was performed using a non-standard block size, the scan process is unable to read the index for that backup from the device. To import indexes for such backups, you can configure an alternate index read block size in the mediamgr.cfg file.

The alternate block size is used only when index scanning fails using the current block size. When the alternate block size is used, the following message is added to the NetVault Backup logs: “Scanned index for job '<job name>' found using alternate block size <xx>, after a failed scan using original request block size <yy>.”

Open the file mediamgr.cfg in a text editor. You can find this file in the config directory under the NetVault Backup installation directory.

This section includes the following topics:

About Network Manager

The Network Manager (nvnmgr) and Communications Manager (nvcmgr) support the inter-process messaging system. Both run as processes on Linux and UNIX systems and as threads within the nvpmgr process on Windows.

These processes perform the following functions:

You can modify the Network Manager settings from the Change Settings page.
