Adding databases to a policy
This topic describes how to add databases to a policy when you choose the option. You can also add instances to the same policy.
See Adding instances to a policy.
You cannot mix instances and instance groups. If you create a policy with instances or databases and later select the option, the instances or databases are deleted from the policy.
To add databases to a policy
- On the Instances and Databases tab, click Protect instances.
- Click New.
The Select Instances and Databases dialog box displays all the instances that you registered in the Applications utility.
See Instance properties. for a description of the properties for the instances and databases that are displayed in this list.
- In the left pane, expand the Databases node and select the instance that contains the databases that you want to protect.
- In the right pane, check the check box next to each database that you want to add to the list.
When you select individual databases, you must manually add any new databases in your environment to a policy. In this case, NetBackup does not dynamically create a list of databases at run-time.
For databases that are hosted on a SQL Server cluster, the Host Name represents the virtual name of the SQL Server. (See the following figure.)
- Click OK.
The objects you select in the backup selections list apply only to the instances or databases that you add to the list on this tab.
