Changing multiple policies at one time
Use the following procedure to change more than one NetBackup policy at the same time.
Note:
You can change Attributes, Clients, and Schedules of multiple policies at one time. However, you cannot change Backup Selections of multiple policies at one time.
To change multiple policies
- In the NetBackup Administration Console, in the left pane, expand NetBackup Management and select Policies.

- In the right pane, either hold down the Shift key and select contiguous rows, or hold down the Ctrl key and select discontiguous rows for multiple selection.
Note:
You can change different schedules across different policies at one time. If you are changing multiple schedules of different policy types, the Attributes tab is disabled. A tri-state is displayed for an attribute that has different values for multiple policies you selected.
