Option	Description
Filter 1 Filter 2 ... Filter 10	To filter log messages generated during backup jobs, use these settings. The messages that contain the strings specified in these boxes are not displayed on the View Logs page. Each box can contain one filter string. Thus, you can specify a maximum of 10 filter strings in the filter boxes.

Under NDMP Backup Configuration, configure the following settings.


Option	Description
Maximum File Buffer Size	To increase the buffer size for file transfer to improve performance, use this setting. The maximum buffer size value depends on the resources available on the NAS Filer. A large buffer size can have a negative impact on the data transfer and overall performance.
Maximum Index Buffer Size	To increase the buffer size for the transfer of backup index entries to improve performance, use this setting. The maximum buffer size value depends on the resources available on the NAS Filer. A large buffer size can have a negative impact the data transfer and overall performance.
Codepage for UTF-8 Conversions	Type the codepage identifier for UTF-8 conversions. Use this option with the Use UTF-8 Conversions option described in Adding an NDMP Server. Translations depend on the configuration, locale, and code sets installed on the system. For a list of codepage values, see the operating system documentation.
Use APM UTF-8 Conversion	To store and index UTF-8 character sets for browsing, select this check box. This setting allows you to browse the files in a native UTF supported language, such as Japanese. Without this setting, the plug-in indexes the files by filer‑specific NDMP metadata.
Delete Unsuccessful Jobs On Completion	By default, NetVault Backup removes the subjobs for Phase 2 backups whether the phase completes successfully or fails. To change the default behavior, use this setting. If you clear this check box, the subjobs generated during Phase 2 backups are removed only if both Phase 1 and Phase 2 backups complete successfully. NOTE: If a Phase 1 job fails, the subjobs generated during this phase are retained even if you select this check box.


	NOTE: After configuring UTF-8 encoding setting on the filer, filer volumes, and plug-in, Quest recommends that you perform a test backup of some data on the relevant volumes. Then, browse these savesets using the Restore Job Wizard to ensure that the names of the directories and files are displayed correctly. This test is necessary because the UTF-8 name translations are received from the filer. If the filer fails to supply the names in UTF-8 format, it can cause corruption or truncation of the file and directory names.
