Adding a new script-based Oracle policy

This topic describes how to add a new backup policy for a database.

To add a new script-based Oracle policy

  1. Log on to the primary server as administrator (Windows) or root (UNIX), and open the web UI.
  2. On the left, click Protection > Policies. Then click Add.
  3. For the Policy name, type a unique name for the new policy.
  4. For the Policy type list, select Oracle.
  5. Click the Instances and databases tab and select Clients for use with scripts.

    The tabs along the top of the dialog change to include a Clients tab.

  6. Complete the entries on the Attributes tab.

  7. Add other policy information as follows:

    • Add schedules.

      Note:

      Be aware of what may happen if an automatic schedule invokes a script that a user authored. NetBackup does not provide safeguards to prevent an automatic backup schedule from running a restore or a recovery script.

    • Add clients.

    • Add scripts to the backup selections list.

  8. When you have added all the schedules, clients, and backup selections you need, click Save.
