Active. Go Into Effect At

To activate the policy, select the Active policy attribute check box. The policy must be active for NetBackup to run automatic-backup schedules or allow user backups or archives.

The Go Into Effect field specifies when this policy may begin scheduling backups. If today is Monday and you enter Wednesday at 12:00 AM, the policy will not run until after that time. This is useful for configuring a series of policies in advance of when you want them to become active.

To deactivate a policy, remove the check from the Active box. To resume backups, recheck the Active box, making sure that the Go Into Effect date and time is set to the current time or the time when you want to resume backups.

If the schedule is to be used for a catalog archive, the policy must not be active. The Active check box must be clear.
