What are the .NBU files
Hello Team,
A search of the NBU Windows client's file system after completing restores show some Windows clients have a large number of .NBU files where the date and size match the completed restores.
Attached is a sample from just one Windows client, there are 270 files, some from 2015 through today totaling 120 GB:
Q: What are these .NBU files and why are they created ?
Q: Although the .NBU files are not backed up or restored, why doesn't NBU clean up these files after restore complete ?
Thanks !
NBU 8.3.0.1 - 1 Linux Master / 2 Linux Media servers
Restoring to NBU Windows 2019 backup clients
try to open one of the files using more or notepad++
Most of the time, you can find evidence in the first lines of a file.
