File Menu

The File menu contains the following options:

Change Server

Use to display the configuration for another NetBackup master server. The name of the current server appears in the status bar. In order to make Change Server available, select the Master Server in the tree on the left side of the NetBackup Administration Console.

New Window from Here

Opens another window in addition to those that are already open. If you are currently in Activity Monitor and select New Window From Here, the new window will open to Activity Monitor.

Adjust Application Time Zone

Allows you to adjust the time zone for the administration of remote NetBackup hosts. The default time zone for the console is that of the host on which the console is started, not the host specified (if different) in the console login dialog.

Export

Save configuration information or data to a file concerning the selected client, server, policy, host properties, storage unit, storage unit group, or device monitor information.

  To set the time zone and Daylight Savings Time

1. In the NetBackup Administration Console (servers), or in Backup, Archive, and Restore (clients), select File > Adjust Application Time Zone. The Adjust Time Zone dialog appears.
2. Adjust the time to reflect how many hours/minutes the time zone of the system is behind or ahead of Greenwich Mean Time.
3. To use daylight savings time, select Use Daylight Savings Time.
4. Indicate when Daylight Savings Time should begin. Select the method you wish to use:
   • Select Absolute date to have DST begin on a specific date. Indicate the desired month and day.
   • Select First day of week in month to have DST begin on the first occurrence of a day in a month. Indicate the desired day of the week and the month.
   • Select First day of week in month after date to have DST begin on the first occurrence of a day in a month and after a specific date. Indicate the desired day of the week and the month and day.
   • Select Last day of week in month to have DST begin on the last occurrence of a day in a month. Indicate the desired day of the week and the month.
   • Select Last day of week in month after date to have DST begin on the last occurrence of a day in a month and before a specific date. Indicate the desired day of the week and the month and day.
5. Indicate the end of Daylight Savings Time, as in step 4.
6. Select Save as default time zone to have the time zone settings applied to the current session and all future sessions.

   The time zone setting applies when using either the NetBackup Administration Console (jnbSA) or the Backup, Archive, and Restore user console (jbpSA). This data is saved in the same location as other state data for the NetBackup-Java Console: $HOME/.nbjava. If an error occurs while saving the data, it is likely due to not having a home directory on the host where the interface was started.

7. Click OK.

Displays the Page Setup dialog to enter printer specifications.

Print Preview

Close Window

If more than one NetBackup window is open, Close Window closes only the current window. You will not exit NetBackup. If only one NetBackup window is open, you will exit NetBackup.

Exit

Closes the NetBackup application and all NetBackup Administration Consoles or windows opened through NetBackup.
