LOCKED_FILE_ACTION option for NetBackup clients
The LOCKED_FILE_ACTION entry specifies the behavior of NetBackup when it backs up a file that has mandatory file locking enabled in its file mode. (See chmod(1)). If this entry is set to SKIP, NetBackup skips the files that currently have mandatory locking set by another process. NetBackup logs a message to this effect.
Table: LOCKED_FILE_ACTION information
Usage | Description |

Where to use | On NetBackup clients. |
How to use | Use the nbgetconfig and the nbsetconfig commands to view, add, or change the option. For information about these commands, see the NetBackup Commands Reference Guide. Use the following format: LOCKED_FILE_ACTION = SKIP This option should appear only once in the configuration file. Note: SKIP is the only legal value for this entry. The default is that NetBackup waits for files to become unlocked. |
