AllowAutoConfig

Allows DS-Client to apply auto-configuration from the file config-update.xml.

Auto Upgrade

Allows auto-upgrade of DS-Client from DS-System when the versions do not match.

Config Keep Days

Number of days to retain old copies of the DS-Client configuration file.

DB2 Client Library Directory

[Linux DS-Clients only]

Specify the DB2 client library directory on the DS-Client machine. Ensure that the dynamic library <libdb2.so.1> resides in this directory.

Note: This parameter requires the DS-Client to restart before taking effect.

DefaultLocalTrashKeepDays

Period (in days) to keep data in the Local-Only trash. This applies to all Local-Only paths defined for the DS-Client.

DS-UserAutoUpgrade

Determines which DS-User auto-upgrade packages the DS-Client will download from DS-System if they are available.

LogArchivePath

Path where detailed logs of DS-Client activities are stored as text files. Each backup set has its own numbered sub-folder.

Any path where the DS-Client can write data is valid.

Multi-Tenant

Enables the Multi-Tenant feature.

ReadOnlyUpgradeInterval

Interval (in minutes) at which DS-Client checks for an upgrade package from DS-System if it is running in “Read-Only” (Stand By) mode (no backup or restore allowed).

ScheduleMiss

This is the number of hours after the schedule start time that a missed schedule will still be triggered by the DS-Client. For example, if the value of this parameter is set to 6 and a schedule from 12:00 PM to 20:00 PM is missed, the schedule will still be triggered as long as it is within 6 hours after the scheduled start time and before the scheduled end time.

Skip Compress

Skips compression on the following types of compressed files: lzop, zip, standard linux compression, gzip, bzip2, scocompress, bzip, jpeg, jfif, png, and gif.

Note: This parameter requires the DS-Client to restart before taking effect.

VMware Log Filter

[Linux DS-Clients only]

This string specifies a filter in Perl regular expression format. A regex search operation is performed and only matching lines are printed to the dsclient.out log file. This filter does not apply to the vmlibexe.out file.

Each regex is a search ‘for’ that string, with all occurrences printed to the log file.

VMware Log Level

[Linux DS-Clients only, for debug purposes.]

Varies the amount and type of logging information inside the following log files:

 

From the lowest to the highest level of logging:

VMware Path Escape

[Linux DS-Clients only]

Determines how DS-Client handles VMware data paths.

Since HTTP is used, URL paths can require ‘path escaping’ for special characters (meaning the use of ‘%26’ instead of ‘&’ in a URL path).

Note: This parameter requires the DS-Client to restart before taking effect.

VMware SOAP Debug

[Linux DS-Clients only, for debug purposes.]

Writes trace logs of any SOAP requests to the /tmp folder on the DS-Client.

Note: This parameter requires the DS-Client to restart before taking effect.

VMware VADP TransportMode

This applies to VMware VADP backup sets. It does not apply to VM replication sets (VMware).

 

Transport mode that DS-Client requests from the VMware libraries when initializing a connection for data transfer to or from a data center.

For more information about the transport modes, see “Using VMware transport libraries”.

VMware VADP Verify Disk Signature

Forces all VMware VADP backup sets that have Changed Block Tracking (CBT) enabled to validate the disk signature of a protected virtual machine after a specified number of backups. The interval count starts from the first backup after the setting is enabled. If a disk signature mismatch is detected, a master generation is sent to the DS-System for the affected virtual disk (vmdk). Verification consumes more system resources and increases the backup time, especially if the signature verification fails and requires backup of a new master.

Note: The disk signature validation setting will be reset to 0 each time the setting is applied to all affected backup sets.

VMware VixDiskLib Configfile Path

[Linux DS-Clients only]

Path to the VMware Virtual Disk Library configuration file for VMware-VIX backup set type only. Configuring this parameter is necessary only if you want to define your own configuration file and specify different settings. Refer to the VMware documentation for the specific parameters and file format.

Any valid file name is a valid value.

Note: This parameter requires the DS-Client to restart before taking effect.
