Adding or changing schedules in a policy
Change policies only when no backup activity is expected for the affected policies and clients. Make adjustments before backups begin to ensure an orderly transition from one configuration to another.
Changing a policy causes NetBackup to recalculate when the policy is due.
Use the following procedure to add or change schedules in an existing NetBackup policy.
