Adding 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.
For a NetBackup for SQL Server policy, clients you want to add must have the following items installed or available:
SQL Server
NetBackup client or server
The backup or restore batch files
Note:
Each batch file must be present on each client.
To add clients to a NetBackup for SQL Server policy
- Open the policy you want to edit or create a new policy.
To access the Policy dialog box, double-click the policy name in the Policies list in the NetBackup Administration Console.
