What can be configured using the Host Properties in NetBackup 10.1?

In Veritas NetBackup 10.1, the Host Properties interface is a central location for configuring settings specific to master servers, media servers, and clients. A key function within Host Properties is managing network communication between these components. This includes a dedicated "Network" tab where administrators can define preferred networks, set connection timeouts and retries, and configure bandwidth limits, thereby controlling the network connections used for backup and restore operations.

A. Backup policies are created and managed in the "Policies" section of the NetBackup Administration Console, which is a separate configuration area from Host Properties.

B. Deduplication options, such as creating and managing Media Server Deduplication Pools (MSDP), are configured under the "Storage" section, not within the general Host Properties.

C. While some data buffer parameters can be tuned for performance, "Network connections" represents a more prominent and distinct category of settings directly managed through the Host Properties GUI.
