Add a batch file-based policy
This topic describes how to create a batch file-based policy that uses clients and batch files to perform backups.
Note:
To perform multistreamed backups and restores, or if you have multiple network interfaces, you need to perform other configuration.
To add a batch file-based policy
- Sign in to the primary server as a user that has the RBAC Administrator role or a role that can manage policies. If your site has more than one primary server, choose the one on which you want to add the policy.
- On the left, click Protection > Policies.
- Click Add.
- Type a unique name for the new policy.
- In the Policy type list, select MS-SQL-Server.
The database agent policy type does not appear in the list unless your primary server has a license for the database agent.
- Complete the entries on the Attributes tab.
- On the Instances and databases tab, select Clients for use with batch files.
The tab name changes to the name Clients. The Backup selections tab now lets you specify and browse for scripts.
Add other policy information as follows:
Add schedules.
Add clients.
Add batch files to the backup selections list.
- When you have added all the schedules, clients, and backup selections you need, click Create.
