Adding availability databases to a policy
This topic describes how to add availability databases to a policy when you choose the option. You can also add availability groups to the same policy. If you want to back up databases outside the availability group, you must create a different policy for those databases. You cannot mix instances, instance groups, and availability groups. For example, if you create a policy with availability groups and later select the option, the availability groups are deleted from the policy.
To add availability databases to a policy
- On the Instances and Databases tab, click Protect availability groups.
- Click New.
The Select Availability Groups and Databases dialog box displays all the availability groups that you registered in the Applications utility.
- In the left pane, expand the node for the availability group that contains the databases that you want to protect.
- In the left pane, select a replica.
- In the right pane, check the check box next to each database that you want to add to the list.
When you select individual databases, you must manually add any new databases in your environment to a policy. In this case, NetBackup does not dynamically create a list of databases at run-time.
- Click OK.
The objects you select in the backup selections list apply only to the availability groups or availability databases that you add to the list on this tab.
