NetBackup Integration with File Archiver

In order to assure that NetBackup does not trigger recalls during backups, add all the executables used by NetBackup during backups to the Excluded Process List using the ExcludeProcess registry key below.

Once this key has been set up, if an attempt is made to recover stubs for an archived file associated with the application type specified in the registry key, the recall will be denied and an event will be issued in the CommCell Console's Event Viewer and the Windows Event Viewer indicating that the recall was denied due to application filtering.

  1. Obtain a list of executables from Symantec.

    For example, if using Bull rather than NetBackup, you would need to exclude all of the executables as shown in the image.

Configuring Windows Registry

  1. Start the Registry Editor on the computer where the file archiver agent is installed.
  2. Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\gxhsm\Parameters\.
  3. Right-click Parameters, point at New and click String Value.
  4. In the Value Name box type ExcludeProcessX.

    Where X is the name of the process executable that is denied recall rights when accessing files of that application type.

  5. Restart the Bull Calypso services for the registry to take its effect.
