Symantec NetBackup - Setting Netbackup Configuration Options by Using Bpsetconfig

Setting NetBackup configuration options by using
bpsetconfig
Symantec recommends that you use the NetBackup Administration Console
Host Properties to configure NetBackup.
However, some configuration options cannot be set by using the Administration
Console. You can set those configuration options by using the bpsetconfig
command.
Alternatively, on UNIX systems you can set configuration options in the bp.conf
file.
See the NetBackup Administrator's Guide for UNIX and Linux, Volume I.
To set configuration options by using the bpsetconfig command
1
On the host on which you want to set configuration options, write the current
configuration to a file by running the following command:
UNIX: /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd/bpgetconfig –h hostname
> file.txt
Windows: install_path\NetBackup\bin\admincmd\bpgetconfig –h
hostname > file.txt
2
Edit and save the file.
You can change the values of the options that are in the file.
You can add option and value pairs.
Ensure that you understand the values that are allowed and the format of
any new options that you add.

Upload the configuration by running the following command:
UNIX: /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd/bpsetconfig –h hostname
file.txt
Windows: install_path\NetBackup\bin\admincmd\bpsetconfig –h
hostname file.txt
