Creating NetBackup policies for script-based BLI backup

To allow full and incremental backups, you must add at least one Standard type policy to NetBackup and define the appropriate schedules for that policy. Use the NetBackup Administration Console to add policies. NetBackup policies define the criteria for the backup.

These criteria include the following:

  • Policy attributes

  • Clients and the files or directories to be backed up on the client

  • Storage unit to use

  • Backup schedules

While most database NetBackup BLI backup policy requirements are the same as for file system backups, the following items have special requirements:

  • The number of policies that are required

    See Number of policies required for BLI backup.

  • Policy attribute values

    See About BLI policy attributes.

  • The BLI client list

    See About the BLI client list.

  • The list of directories and files to back up

    See Backup selections list for BLI backups.

  • Schedules

    See About schedules for BLI backup policies.
