About scheduling a Vault session

To run a vault session automatically at a specific day and time, use a Vault policy. A Vault policy is a NetBackup policy that is configured to run Vault jobs; a Vault policy does not back up client systems. The policy includes the schedule for when the Vault session should run (day or date and time window) and the command to run a Vault profile.

How you schedule your sessions depends on how you conduct operations as follows:

  • A Vault policy can run a profile that ejects media containing the original images that were created during a backup job. If you create multiple original backup images concurrently, you can assign one or more of the original images to an off-site volume pool. A separate Vault policy can run a Vault job that ejects the media on which those images are stored.

  • A Vault policy can run a profile that selects images and ejects the media on which those images are stored. That policy can perform both operations daily or at some other interval that meets your requirements. If your vault vendor arrives daily to pick up media or you remove the off-site media from your robot immediately, you may need only one policy for that vault.
