Managing Backup Policies

Backup policies define the rules that NetBackup follows when backing up clients. A backup policy can apply to one or more clients. Every client must be covered by at least one backup policy. The best approach to configuring backup policies is to divide clients into groups according to their backup and archiving requirements, then create a policy for each group.
