Setting System Variables for Client-Initiated Backups
2
Storing Temporary Shadow Logs for Online Backups
You can set the NSR_MPE_ONLINE_SAVE_LOGVOLSET system variable to specify
the MPE volume set on which the 7x24 TurboSTORE will store the temporary shadow
logs for online backups. Shadow logs contain the before-backup images of any files that
are changed during the backup. If you don’t set this system variable, the shadow logs
are saved to the MPE volume set of the file that NetWorker and TurboSTORE are
backing up currently. If you decide not to save the shadow log to a different volume
set, make sure that you have enough space on the volume set to which you are backing
up files.
Important: You must not include the NetWorker-expected tag “_VOLUME-SET” on
non-system volume sets.
Specifying the Frequency for Displaying the Progress of Backups
You can set the NSR_MPE_PROGRESS variable to set the frequency for displaying a
message on the progress of backups.
To report on the progress of backups, for example, enter the following system when
you start a CI session:
: SETVAR NSR_MPE_PROGRESS "
5 "
Note that the value given represents a time in minutes.
You can also set this system variable from the POSIX shell:
$ export NSR_MPE_PROGRESS=
5
Specifying a Notification at the Start of Online Backups
The following variable allows your backups to stream a user-specified job file either at
the end of its scanning phase (using ONLINE), at the end of a store operation (normal
backup), or at the end of a synchronization point (ONLINE=START).
Use the following command to set the notification system variable to on or off (the
default is off).
To specify a notification, enter the following system variable at the CI prompt:
: SETVAR NSR_MPE_NOTIFY_ON ""
You can also set this system variable from the POSIX shell:
$ export NSR_MPE_NOTIFY_ON=""
