Configuring Backup Policies
The easiest way to set up a backup policy is to use the Backup Policy Configuration Wizard. This wizard guides you through the setup process, simplifying the process by automatically choosing default values that are good for most configurations.
Note
The wizard cannot be used, however, to configure a calendar-based schedule.
To create a policy using the wizard
-
In the NetBackup Administration Console, select Master Server or NetBackup Management.
-
From the list of wizards in the Details pane, click Create a Backup Policy.
See the NetBackup Installation Guide for step-by-step instructions.
To create a policy without using the wizard
-
In the NetBackup Administration Console, expand NetBackup Management > Policies.
-
Click the New button on the toolbar.
-
Type a unique name for the new policy in the Add a New Policy dialog.
Use alphabetic (ASCII A-Z a-z), numeric (0-9), plus (+), minus (-), underscore(_), or period (.) characters. Do not use a minus or period (.) as the first or last character. Do not leave any spaces between characters.
If you decide you'd like to use the Backup Policy Configuration Wizard to configure the policy, select Use add policy wizard.
Note
If the schedule is to be used for a catalog archive, the policy must be named catarc. For more information on configuring a policy for catalog archiving, see Creating a Catalog Archiving Policy.
-
Click OK.
For help while running the wizard, click Help in any of the wizard screens.
