NetBackup™ for Microsoft SQL Server Administrator's Guide

Add 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.

To add clients to a policy

  1. Open the policy and select the Clients tab.
  2. Before you can add clients, you must select Clients for use with batch files on the Instances and databases tab.
  3. Select Add.
  4. 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.

    See Reviewing the auto-discovered mappings.

    See Configuring mappings for restores of a distributed applications, clusters, or virtual machines .

  5. Select Add.
