Configure an application backup schedule
A database backup requires an application backup schedule. You cannot perform backups if this type of schedule is not included in the policy. NetBackup automatically creates this schedule and names it .
The backup window for an application backup schedule must encompass the time period during which all scheduled jobs and client-initiated jobs can occur. This window is necessary because the application backup schedule accepts the backup request from NetBackup for Sybase regardless of whether the backup was initiated from an automatic schedule or from the client. You can choose to set the window for the application backup schedule for 24 hours per day, seven days per week. This window ensures that your operations are never locked out due to the application backup schedule.
To configure an application backup schedule
- Open the policy and select the Schedules tab.
- Select the schedule that is named Default-Application-Backup and select Edit.
- Specify the other properties for the schedule.
See Schedule properties.
- Select Add.
