        Well,

Did you take a look really at this files before saying that ?

In the first url : 207 if you look at the end of this document (maybe =
not
all of them but...).

I copy you this keys but...

More OTM Registry info from Veritas Support:

OTM Settings

Open Transaction Manager Registry Settings

These are located in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE - Software - Veritas - =
Netbackup -
CurrentVersion - Config:

=B7 OTM_USE (if this is not present the default setting is YES and Open
Transaction Manager is enabled) =B7 Applicable Settings: "NO" =3D =
disabled "YES"
=3D enabled=20

=B7 OTM_Cache_File =B7 If this is not present the cache file defaults =
to c:\temp
If this is specified it must be specified down with the full path down =
to
the FILENAME. Data type of Reg_SZ (eg. e:\temp\otm.tmp where otm.tmp is =
a 0
byte file)

=B7 OTM_Cache_Size_Init =B7 NetBackup Properties Specifies the initial =
size of
the cache file (in megabytes). If a specific value is not set, =
NetBackup
sets it to 10 megabytes. If the value is set to 0, NetBackup sets it to =
10%
of the used disk space. (Patch 326 or higher should be used for the =
Initial
Cache Size =3D 0 setting)

=B7 OTM_Cache_Size_Max =B7 Specifies the maximum cache size (in =
megabytes) of
the cache file. If the cache file reaches this size and more cache is
required, Open Transaction Manager is turned off and the backup =
continues.
However, relationships between the backed up files can be lost because =
the
snapshot is not used. The default maximum cache size is 50 megabytes. =
This
can also be set this to 0 and NetBackup will dynamically allocate =
space.

=B7 OTM_Current =B7 Applicable settings are: "YES" =3D Individual Drive =
Snapshots
Specifies that Open Transaction Manager take a snapshot of each drive =
and
back it up before proceeding to the next drive. For example, assume =
that
drives C and D are being backed up. Here, Open Transaction Manager: 1. =
Takes
a snapshot of drive C, backs it up, and discards the snapshot. 2. Takes =
a
snapshot of drive D, backs it up, and discards the snapshot. Open
Transaction Manager is enabled on only one drive at a time, depending =
on
which one is being backed up. This mode is useful when it is not =
necessary
to maintain relationships between files on the different drives.
"NO" =3D Global Drive Snapshots: Specifies that Open Transaction =
Manager take
a snapshot that includes all drives that are part of the backup and =
then
back up the drives. For example, assume that drives C and D are being =
backed
up. Here, Open Transaction Manager: 1. Takes a snapshot of C and D. 2. =
Backs
up C and then backs up D. 3. Discards the snapshot. Open Transaction =
Manager
remains enabled on both the C and the D drives for the entire duration =
of
the backup. This mode is useful when it is necessary to maintain the
relationships between files on the different drives.
"ALL_AVAILABLE" Specifies that Open Transaction Manager be enabled on =
all
drives, regardless of which ones are being backed up. If backing up =
clients
in a class that is using "Allow Multiple Data Streams", this setting =
ensures
that all the backups can use Open Transaction Manager. For example, =
assume
the following: * A client has four drives: C, D, E, and F. * The class =
file
list contains directives that split the client backup into two streams, =
each
of which is an independent backup. Drives C and D are in one backup and
drives E and F are in the other backup. * The server attempts to start =
both
backups at the same time. If Individual drive snapshots or Global drive
snapshots are selected, the following occurs: 1. The drive C and D =
backup
starts. 2. NetBackup enables Open Transaction Manager for drives C and =
D. 3.
The drive E and F backup starts. However, NetBackup cannot enable open
transaction management for drives E and F. When open transaction =
management
is active, another enable attempt succeeds only if the set of drives =
are the
same as the active set. In this example, the sets are different. 4. The
drive E and F backup continues, but without Open Transaction Manager. =
If
"Use all available drives" is selected, the following occurs: 1. The =
drive C
and D backup starts. 2. NetBackup enables Open Transaction Manager for =
all
drives (even though E and F are not part of the current backup). 3. The
drive E and F backup starts. 4. NetBackup enables transaction =
management for
all drives. This attempt succeeds because the set of drives is the same =
as
the one that is already using Open Transaction Manager. 5. Both backups =
use
Open Transaction Manager.

=B7 OTM_Exclude: =B7 The Exclude tab allows you to create and modify =
the exclude
lists on Microsoft Windows clients. An exclude=20
list names files and folders that you want to exclude from automatic
backups. The Files/Directories box shows the lists for clients that =
were
selected when the dialog box was opend. If multiple clients were =
selected, a
scroll bar is present at the bottom of the list box. Move the bar to =
display
the list for the desired client (only one list at a time can be =
modified). *
To add a file or directory to the list that is being displayed, click =
Add
List Item. * To modify a file or directory entry, select it in the =
list,
click Edit List Item, and make the change. * To Delete a file or =
directory
entry, select it in the list and click the Delete key.

=B7 OTM_Quiescent_Timeout: =B7 Busy File Timeout Specifies the duration =
(in
seconds) of the quiet period that must occur so the snap can be taken. =
The
default is 60 seconds. This a 60 second time period in which the
quiescent_wait must occur.

=B7 OTM_Quiescent_Wait: =B7 Busy File Wait Specifies how many seconds =
to wait
for a quiet period to occur. If this time expires, the backup proceeds =
but
without backing up the file. The quiet period is a period of time =
during
which no writes are being performed on the drives or volumes to be =
backed
up. The default is 5 seconds.

=B7 OTM_Error_Control (Controls how OTM reacts when it encounters an =
error.)
The default is abort. The applicable values are listed below. Data type =
is
Reg_Dword:
0 =3D Abort on Error 1 =3D Disable OTM 2 =3D Retry OTM=20

Fabrice
