Use the LISTPD record to specify the value CA VM:Backup is to use to calculate a default time period for end-user restores. The value is the number of days back from the day on which the request was submitted. CA VM:Backup uses the time period when displaying files, minidisks, and directories to be restored. For example, if the LISTPD value on your system is 7 and on 8/25 an end user submits a request to restore a file without specifying a date range, CA VM:Backup displays only data backed up from 8/18 through 8/25.
LISTPD days
Note: The LISTPD record controls which versions of files and domains a user can select for restore. For file restores, CA VM:Backup displays and restores only those files that were backed up within the specified time period. For domain restores, if the selected domain exists on an incremental backup, CA VM:Backup will use all incrementals and the full backup on which they are based to perform the restore, even if their dates are before the time period.
Important! Make sure that the value in the LISTPD record results in a default time period that includes the entire backup cycle, including the last full backup. For files restores, CA VM:Backup restores only those files that were backed up within the specified time period.
CA VM:Backup cannot display files in response to a restore request if the number of files available to restore exceeds the value in the MAXFILES configuration record. To reduce the possibility of reaching this limit, specify a short LISTPD period.
Specifies the number of days in the default time period for end user restore requests. This number must be between 1 and 5000. If you specify an asterisk instead of an actual number of days, CA VM:Backup searches from the most recent catalog back through the earliest.
You can include only one LISTPD record in the VMBACKUP CONFIG file. The default is LISTPD 14.
Interactive Reconfiguration
You can dynamically edit the LISTPD record through the CA VM:Backup full-screen interface. The screen path is:
