Policy Storage Unit

The Policy Storage Unit policy attribute specifies the default storage unit for backups of this policy. NetBackup uses the default storage unit for all schedules that do not specify another storage unit. A schedule-level storage unit (when specified) overrides the policy default. See Override Policy Storage Unit.

Select the policy storage unit from the drop-down list. You can also indicate Any Available. If you select Any Available, NetBackup tries locally-attached storage units first, and if none are found, the storage units are tried in alphabetical order. NetBackup uses the first storage unit that meets the following requirements:

• The storage unit must not be designated as On Demand Only
• The storage unit must have available drives
• The storage unit must have media available in the required volume pool

The only exception is in the case of a client that is also a media server with locally connected storage units. The locally available storage units take precedence over the sequence based on alphabetical order.
