About policy attributes
With a few exceptions, policy attributes for a Lotus-Notes policy are managed in the same way as for most other policy types. Certain policy attributes vary according to your specific backup strategy and system configuration.
For more information on policy attributes, see the NetBackup Administrator's Guide, Volume I.
Table: Policy attributes for NetBackup for Domino policies
Attribute | Description |
|---|---|
| Determines the types of clients that can be backed up with the policy. For Notes databases, select the policy type . |
| Enable this feature to have NetBackup take checkpoints during the backup jobs for the policy. The checkpoint frequency indicates how often NetBackup takes a checkpoint during a backup. The default is 15 minutes. The global attribute indicates the number of times that NetBackup attempts a failed backup. See the NetBackup Administrator's Guide, Volume 1 for more information on these options. |
| Enables the compression of backups. This option is only supported for NetBackup for Domino clients for Windows. A Domino client on UNIX cannot perform compression. If you want to use compression and have both Windows and UNIX clients, create two backup policies. Use one policy for Windows clients and one policy for UNIX clients. For more information on the advantages and disadvantages of compression, see the NetBackup Administrator's Guide, Volume I. |
| Specifies that NetBackup can divide automatic backups for each client into multiple jobs. Each job backs up only a part of the list of backup selections. The jobs are in separate data streams and can occur concurrently. The number of available storage units, multiplex settings, and the maximum jobs parameters determine the total number of streams and how many can run concurrently. Not all directives in the backup selections list allow for multiple database streams. |
