Veritas NetBackup™ Administrator's Guide, Volume I

Keyword phrase (policy attribute)

The Keyword phrase attribute is a phrase that NetBackup associates with all backups or archives based on the policy. Only the Windows and UNIX client interfaces support keyword phrases.

Clients can use the same keyword phrase for more than one policy. The same phrase for multiple policies makes it possible to link backups from related policies. For example, use the keyword phrase "legal department documents" for backups of multiple clients that require separate policies, but contain similar types of data.

The phrase can be a maximum of 128 characters in length. All printable characters are permitted including spaces and periods. By default, the keyword phrase is blank.

Clients can also specify a keyword phrase for a user backup or archive. A user keyword phrase overrides the policy phrase.
