In the selection tree, open the applicable client node, and select Backint.
3
From the Actions list, select Configure.

Complete the applicable fields:
•
Server name: Enter the name of the NetVault Backup Server in this field. This name is the NetVault Backup name for the server with device control that is used to process backups.
•
Job Start Timeout (secs): Specify the time, in seconds, that NetVault Backup should wait before canceling its attempts to connect to the NetVault Backup Server.
•
Backup directory contents: By default, if a directory name is specified instead of a file, the directory contents are not backed up. If you want the files in the specified directory included in the backup, select this check box.
 
* 
IMPORTANT: Even if this option is selected, subdirectories contained in the directory specified are not backed up. To back up subdirectories, include the “-r” switch at the command line when initiating a backup.
•
Split backup sub-jobs by volume: To group jobs that back up files from more than one volume into volume-based subjobs, select this check box.
•
Use network compression: To compress data before transmitting it over a network, select this check box. When the data reaches its destination, it is decompressed.
 
* 
IMPORTANT: With this option selected, backups might take longer to complete.
•
Mass open for ‘File-online’: To open all files for backup simultaneously, select this check box. When you initiate a backup at the command line, include the “-t” switch for the “file_online” command.
•
Backup sub-job count: Enter the maximum number of subjobs that any given job can have. NetVault Backup sizes the subjobs equally. For example, if the data being backed up is 5 gigabytes (GB) and the Backup subjob count is 10, each subjob would be approximately 500 megabytes (MB).
 
* 
IMPORTANT: This option functions only if the Split backup sub-jobs by volume option is cleared.
•
Maximum restore sub-jobs: Use this option to specify the maximum number of subjobs — usually running off separate media — that a restore job is allowed to use. If set to “1,” a backup spanning multiple pieces of media can only be restored from each item of media in turn.
•
Restore to overwrite newer files: If you must overwrite existing files that have a more recent modification date, select this check box.
 
* 
IMPORTANT: If this option is not selected and older files exist in the backup data, NetVault Backup notes errors in the NetVault Backup Logs during a restore and the restore might fail.
•
Restore to create backup of existing files: To create a backup copy of an existing file with a different extension before completing a restore, select this check box.
 
* 
IMPORTANT: By default, a restore does not back up existing files before overwriting them. Therefore, without this item selected, existing files are overwritten.
•
Restore to restore original timestamps: If you want the timestamps on restored data reset to what they were when the files were backed up, select this check box.
•
Default Parameter File: Enter the path to the applicable SAP Backint parameter file that is used as a reference point for commands issued from a terminal session, that is, for backup and restore operations.
 
* 
IMPORTANT: For more information about the use of parameter files, see the relevant SAP Backint documentation.

If a Backint command is issued from a terminal prompt using the “-p <par_file>” argument, the parameter file specified as the <par_file> is used instead of the file entered in the Default Parameter File field.
