Restore Retries

The Restore Retries setting specifies the number of attempts (1 through 3) a client will try to restore after a failure. The default is 0 (client will not attempt to retry). If a job is of a type that can be checkpointed, the job will retry from the start of the last checkpointed file rather than at the beginning of the job.

Change Restore Retries only if problems are encountered.

If a job fails after the number of retries, the job remains in the incomplete state as determined by the Move Restore Job From Incomplete State to Done State property on the Global Attributes host properties page. Checkpoint Restart for restores allows a failed restore job to be resumed by a NetBackup administrator from the Activity Monitor.
