Deleting schedules, backup selections, or clients from a policy
Use the following procedure to delete schedules, backup selections, or clients from a NetBackup policy.
Note:
Veritas recommends that users do not modify or delete automanaged policies. If a user begins to modify or delete an automanaged policy, a dialog appears that warns users about the possible consequences.
See Warning about modifying or deleting automanaged policies or storage lifecycle policies.
To delete a schedule, backup selections, or clients from a policy
- In the NetBackup Administration Console, in the left pane, expand NetBackup Management > Policies.
- Expand the policy name in the middle pane, and then select Attributes, Schedules, Backup Selections, or Clients.
- In the right pane, select the item you want to delete.
- On the Edit menu, click Delete.
- Click Yes when asked if you want to delete the selected item from the policy.
When a client is deleted from the client list, the NetBackup client software is not deleted or uninstalled from the client. Backups for the client can be recovered until the backups expire. Also, when a file is deleted from a backup selection list, the actual file is not deleted from the client.
