Policy attributes that affect how clients are grouped in policies
The following table lists the attributes that may determine which clients are grouped in the same policy.
Table: Policy attributes that affect how clients are grouped in policies
Attribute | Description |
|---|---|
| Each client must be in a policy of the correct policy type. For example, Windows clients must be in a policy of a MS-Windows policy type. |
All of the data that the policy generates is sent to the same destination that is indicated in the policy. The data must share the same , , and . See Data classifications (policy attribute). | |
This attribute determines the priority for the backups of all of the clients in the policy. | |
| Select this attribute if a UNIX client has NFS mounted files to be backed up. Consider placing these clients in a separate policy so problems with NFS do not affect the other clients. |
| This attribute lets NetBackup cross file system boundaries for all clients in the policy. |
| This attribute lets NetBackup back up the files that all clients in the policy store on network drives. (Applies only to the policy type.) |
| This attribute indicates that all clients in the policy are to compress their backups before they send them to the server. Note that the time to compress can increase backup time and make it unsuitable to use for all clients. Consider creating a different policy for those clients. |
