Veritas NetBackup™ Administrator's Guide, Volume I

Override media owner (schedule attribute)

The Override media owner attribute applies only to tape media. It specifies whether to use the policy media owner or another owner for the schedule. The rules for shared disk media are more flexible so override settings are not needed for disk media.

The attribute works as follows:

Disabled

Instructs the schedule to use the media owner that is specified as the Media Owner in the policy Attribute tab.

Enabled

Instructs the schedule to override the media owner that is specified as the Media Owner in the policy Attribute tab.

Select the new media owner from the list:

  • Any.

    NetBackup selects the media owner, either a media server or server group

  • None

    Specifies that the media server that writes to the media owns the media. No media server is specified explicitly, but you want a media server to own the media.

  • A server group

    Specifies that a media server group allows only those media servers in the group to write to the media on which backup images for this policy are written. All media server groups that are configured in the NetBackup environment appear in the list.

See Media Owner (policy attribute).
