Veritas NetBackup™ DataStore SDK Programmer's Guide for XBSA 1.1.0

Adding new schedules

Each policy has its own set of schedules. These schedules control initiation of automatic backups and also specify when user operations can be initiated.

An XBSA application requires each policy to have at least an application backup schedule. To satisfy this requirement, an application backup schedule named Default-Application-Backup is automatically created when you configure a new DataStore policy. The backup window for an application backup schedule must encompass the time period during which all of the NetBackup DataStore jobs, scheduled and unscheduled, occur. This is necessary because the application backup schedule starts processes that are required for all of the XBSA application backups, including those started automatically.

If the user wants NetBackup to initiate the XBSA application, an automatic backup schedule is also required. An automatic backup schedule specifies the dates and times when NetBackup automatically starts backups by running the XBSA scripts in the order that they appear in the Files list. If there is more than one client in the DataStore policy, the XBSA scripts are executed on each client.
