Creating a global purge policy for the Reports Database

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 Reports Database.

To create a global purge policy for the Reports Database:
1
In the Navigation pane, click Change Settings.
2
Under User Interface, click Reporting.
3
In the Reporting dialog box, under Tables, configure the following settings.
 
Table 154. Global purge settings for the Reports Database
Setting
Description

Tables default to being part of the global purge group

By default, the global purge policy is applied to all tables in the Reports Database. You can override this behavior for individual tables with table‑specific purge policies. The table-specific policies are only applied when you disable the global policy at the database level.

To apply the global purge policy to all report tables, ensure that this check box is selected.

Purge check frequency

By default, the Reports Database Manager performs purge check every 24 hours, and deletes all records that match the purge condition.

To change the frequency of purge checks, type or select the time interval between two purge events. The purge frequency is specified in number of hours.

Global purge method

Select one of the following options:

•
By date: Select this option to delete records that are older than the specified time limit.
•
By space used: Select this option to delete records when the space usage exceeds the specified size limit.

Global purge space limit

Type or select the maximum file size for the report tables. The file size is specified in MB. The default value is 50MB.

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:

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.
