Resolution

There are several methods which can be used to prevent DLO Agents from performing backups to the NUDF.  The DLO Administrator needs to decide which method best fits his/her needs.

1. Implement a Blackout Window. The blackout window can be configured to prevent backups for a recurring period of time based on a schedule.
(From the DLO Admin Console > Tools >  Blackout Windows)

2. Disable individual Users.  This can be done very granularly.  Multiple users can be disabled simultaneously.
(From the DLO Admin Console > Setup > Users > rt-click on a User (or highlighted group of users) and select Disable)

3. Disable a Profile.  This can be done to target a group of Users all associated with the same Profile.
(From the DLO Admin Console > Setup > Profiles > rt-click on a Profile and select Disable)


Issue/Introduction

There may be situations where the DLO Administrator may want to halt backups for a portion of or all of the DLO user community. Those situations may include (but are not limited to) where an NUDF has filled up or if DLO is interfering with desktop performance.
