NetBackup™ for OpenStack Administrator's Guide

Reset a policy

In rare cases it might be necessary to start a backup chain all over again to ensure the quality of the created backups. In case you want to avoid the recreation of the policy, you can reset the policy.

The policy reset will:

  • Cancel all ongoing tasks.

  • Delete all existing NetBackup for OpenStack snapshots from the protected VMs.

  • Recalculate the next snapshot time.

  • Take a full backup at the next snapshot.

Using Horizon

To reset a policy do the following steps:

  1. On the Horizon console, navigate to NBOS Backups > Policies.

  2. Identify the policy to reset.

  3. Click Create Snapshot drop-down.

  4. Click Reset Policy.

  5. Click Reset Policy again to confirm.

Using CLI
nbosjm policy-reset <policy-id>
  • <policy-id> ID/name of the policy to reset.
