Where to use | On NetBackup clients. |
How to use | Use the nbgetconfig and the nbsetconfig commands to view, add, or change the option. For information about these commands, see the NetBackup Commands Reference Guide. Use the following format: BPBACKUP_POLICY = policy_name By default, BPBACKUP_POLICY is not present in the configuration file.
