This option specifies that Windows Open File Backups be used for the selected clients. Add clients to the list only if you want to change the default property settings.

This option functions independently from the Perform Snapshot backups policy option that is available when the Snapshot Client is licensed.

If a client is included in a policy that has the Perform Snapshot backups policy option disabled and you do not want snapshots, the Enable Windows Open File Backups for this client property must be disabled as well for the client. If both options are not disabled, a snapshot is created, though that may not be the intention of the administrator.

For more information, see the NetBackup Snapshot Client Administrator's Guide.
