Busy file action

The Busy file action property directs the action that NetBackup performs on busy files when busy-file processing is enabled. On a UNIX client, the value in the user's $HOME/bp.conf file takes precedence if it exists.

Select one of the following Busy file options:

  1. Send email

    Directs NetBackup to mail a busy file notification message to the user that is specified in the Operator's email address field in this dialog box.

  2. Retry the backup

    Directs NetBackup to retry the backup on the specified busy file. The Retry count value determines the number of times NetBackup tries a backup.

  3. Ignore

    Directs NetBackup to exclude the busy file from busy file processing. The file is backed up, then a log entry that indicates it was busy appears in the All Log Entries report.
