About policies for Cloud object store assets
Backup policies provide the instructions that NetBackup follows to back up objects. You can create a single policy to protect multiple buckets or containers in a Cloud object store account. You can select the objects that you want to protect using a policy. The objects are automatically discovered in the NetBackup environment and backed up. You need different policies to apply different backup logic to the objects in a Cloud object store account. Every Cloud object store account must be in at least one policy so that it can be backed up.
You can configure the following using a policy:
Storage unit and media to use
Backup schedules: Full, Differential incremental, and Cumulative incremental
Backup selections: Whole bucket, container, or group of objects matching the criteria specified in the query.
You can add the whole buckets or containers to a policy, or use queries to intelligently select the required objects inside the buckets to back up.
