Backup Selections on the Selections Tab

The backup selections list names the files, directories, directives, scripts (used for database policies), and templates (used for Oracle and DB2 policies), that NetBackup includes in automatic backups of clients covered by a policy.

NetBackup uses the same selection list for all clients backed up according to a policy. All the files and directories do not need to exist on all the clients, as NetBackup backs up the files in directories NetBackup finds.
