Adding a new NetBackup for SharePoint policy

This topic describes how to add a new backup policy for a database.

To add a new NetBackup for SharePoint policy

Log on to the master server as administrator (Windows) or root (UNIX).
Start the NetBackup Administration Console.
If your site has more than one master server, choose the one on which you want to add the policy.
In the NetBackup Administration Console, select NetBackup Management > Policies. Then select Actions > New > Policy.
In the Add a New Policy dialog box, in the Policy name box, type a unique name for the new policy.
Click OK.
In the Add New Policy dialog box, in the Policy type list, select MS-SharePoint.
The MS-SharePoint policy type does not appear in the drop-down list unless your master server has a license for the database agent.
(Optional) To enable restores of individual items from database backups, click Enable granular recovery.
Complete the entries on the Attributes tab.
Add other policy information as follows:
- Add schedules.
- Add clients.
- Add database objects to the backup selections list.
For backups that use Granular Recovery Technology (GRT), configure the list of SharePoint hosts.
When you have added all the schedules, clients, and backup selections you need, click OK.
