General tab of the Client attributes properties
The properties on the General tab apply to selected Windows primary servers. The tab appears on the Client attributes page.
The General tab contains the following properties.
Table: General tab properties
Property | Description |
---|---|
Makes the specified clients in the General tab unavailable for backups until the specified date and time. By default, clients are online and included in the policies in which they are listed. When is selected for a client, no jobs are scheduled for that client. Since the client is not part of any job, no backup status is listed for the client.If a client is taken offline, any job is allowed to complete that includes the client and is already running. If a backup or restore job is manually submitted for a client that is offline, the Activity monitor displays the job as failed with a status code 1000 (Client is offline). Note: Changes to this property do not appear in the audit report. The ability to take clients offline is useful in a number of situations. | |

This property applies to the privileges that are allowed to a non-Windows administrator or non-root user who is logged into the client. This property also applies to the users that do not have backup and restore privileges. Windows administrators and root users can list and restore from scheduled backups as well as user backups regardless of the setting. |
Deduplication | Specifies the deduplication action for clients if you use the NetBackup Data Protection Optimization Option. For a description of the client-side deduplication options and their actions: |
