Policy volume pool (policy attribute)

The Policy volume pool attribute specifies the default volume pool where the backups for the policy are stored. A volume pool is a set of media that is grouped for use by a single application. The volume pool is protected from access by other applications and users.

The available volume pools appear on the list. Whenever a new volume is required, it is allocated from the volume pool indicated.

If you select a volume pool on the Schedule tab, that selection overrides the Policy volume pool selection on the Attributes tab.

See Override policy storage (schedule attribute).

See Example of overriding the policy volume pool.
