A valid Cloud object store account to access the bucket(s) and objects.

Keep handy information about the bucket(s) and the criteria that you want to use for selecting objects from them, in the Cloud objects tab.

You must have permission to view and select the Cloud object store account and the access host to specify the backup host for a policy, in the Cloud objects tab.

Evaluate the requirement for NetBackup accelerators in your environment. If you want to use accelerators, you need to specify while creating the policy.

If you plan to use any other backup host, than the one used for Cloud object store account validation: make sure that required ports are opened and configurations are done for communication from the backup host to the cloud provider endpoint using REST API calls.

Evaluate the requirement for NetBackup multistreaming in your environment. For a given bucket, NetBackup creates one stream per query defined for the bucket in the policy. If you want to use multistreaming, you can specify while creating the policy. To use multistream, you also need to configure the number of jobs for the buckets as client in the Client attributes section, under primary server Host properties. Add the client name and set the Maximum data streams as required.
