This branch HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\VERITAS\NetBackup\CurrentVersion\Config  contains all of the keys with almost the same names as bp.conf in Unix

What setting are you trying to view\modify?

I'm not sure the bp.conf file exists on windows machines; I think this is a UNIX thing. I could be wrong so if I am then someone correct me. It might have done on an older version of NBU.

There is no bp.conf in windows....you can use the host properties to modify settings or using the BAR on each client. If you will be more specific as AIGon asked then we will be more helpful..

 Run "Backup, Archive and Recovery GUI" and you will find client settings there (including timeout values)

Or on Master server--->Host properties-->clients...double click the client you want to change the settings and under properties select timeouts

Yes you will find it in in REGEDIT

You can even do this:

From master server execute this command:

bpgetconfig -M <windows server> > /tmp/bp.conf.<windows server>

Now go edit the file /tmp/bp.conf.<windows server> and save it

Now do this:

bpsetconfig -h <windows server> /tmp/bp.conf.<windows server>

This command will update the bp.conf in the windows server

I felt this way more convinient

I advise you do not make any changes but request the windows admin to make them for you.
