Adding clients to a policy
The client list is the list of hosts on which your batch files are run during an automatic backup. A NetBackup client must be in at least one policy but can be in more than one.
For a NetBackup for SQL Server policy, clients you want to add must have the following items installed or available:
SQL Server
NetBackup client or server
The backup or restore batch files
Note:
Each batch file must be present on each client.
To add clients to a policy
- In the web UI, open the policy and click the Clients tab.
- Before you can add clients, you must select Clients for use with batch files on the Instances and databases tab.
- Click Add.
- Type the name of the client and select the hardware and operating system of the client.
If SQL Server is installed in a cluster, specify the virtual name of the SQL Server as the client name.
Note:
If you installed NetBackup on more than one node in the SQL Server cluster, you must perform additional configuration.
