Add the batch files to the policy that protects the preferred or the primary replica

This topic describes how to add the batch files that you created to the backup policy that protects the preferred or the primary replica in the availability group.

To add the batch files to the policy that protects the preferred or the primary replica

  1. This procedure assumes that you already created a policy. It also assumes that you created batch files on each replica on which you want backups to occur.

    See Configure an automatic backup policy for the preferred or the primary replica of a SQL Server availability group.

    See Add the batch files to the policy that protects the preferred or the primary replica.

  2. Open the policy that you created.
  3. On the Backup selections tab, add the batch files that you created. If you saved the batch files to the same location on each replica, you need only one entry in the Backup selections list.

    Include batch files for only one type of backup in this policy. (For example, full, differential, or transaction log.)

  4. Select Save to save the policy.
  5. Repeat the step 2 through 4 in this procedure for each policy that you created.
