Modify configuration default values
To improve operational efficiency, you can modify the scbr.override configuration file to change default values. These values control settings such as the number of VMware snapshots that are created or deleted during a backup or the amount of time before a backup script stops running.
The scbr.override configuration file is used by the SnapCenter Plug-in for VMware vSphere in environments that support SnapCenter application-based data protection operations. If this file does not exist, then you must create it from the template file.
