Import/Export Admin Console Java Settings

Hello,

I'm using Netbackup Administration Control, java version. These are Netabckup 7,5  7,1 and 6,5. Need to migrate from XP to Windows 7. I would like to take with me on windows 7 settings such as list of hostnames and usernames I entered on them on XP, but  don't have a clue where they are hiding.

I found some configuration in files but they don't containt what I am searching for, checked forums for that but found  only topic with importing/exporting seetings of windows console and this is definetely not that i'm looking for.

Any ideas where i can find those settings for java version?

  • Maybe I'm reading the question differently from my colleague...

    ON XP, you can find this stuff in a single file: C:\Documents and Settings\<USERNAME>\Application Data\Veritas\java\750000\_vrts_nbe_NBELoginLists_vrts-nbe-AdminConsole_prefs.properties

    On Win7, the filename and I THINK the path is the same, but if for some reason the path above DOESN'T work, try navigating to (I think): C:\Documents and Settings\<USERNAME>\AppData\Roaming\Veritas\java\750000

    Generally we wouldn't want you editing this file, but you'd probably just be doing more of a wholesale replacement of the file on your Win7 machine using the copy from your XP machine, so I'd give it a shot and see if it does what you expect.  Worse comes to worse, you have to completely blow the preferences file away and you're back to the nothin' you had before.

    EDIT: I should add that I'm assuming you're using the 7.5 Java console - if you're not, then the 750000 folder will have a different name looking more like the version you ARE using.

  • Yes this was exactly what I looked for. I just pasted this file from my XP to Win7 as you showed and it's working, I done it for all 3 versions, for all it works.
