Go into effect at (policy attribute)

The Go into effect at attribute specifies when the policy can begin to schedule backups. For example, if today is Monday and you enter Wednesday at 12:00 A.M., the policy does not run until that time or later. Use this attribute to configure a series of policies in advance of when the policies need to become active.

To activate the policy, check Go into effect at. The policy must be active for NetBackup to use the policy.

To deactivate a policy, uncheck the box. Inactive policies appear are unavailable in the NetBackup Administration Console. Inactive policies remain on the list of policies in the left pane of the NetBackup Administration Console. To resume backups, recheck the box. Make sure that the date and time are set to the time that you want to resume backups.

If the schedule is to be used for a catalog archive, the policy must not be active. Clear the check box to deactivate the policy.
