Veritas NetBackup™ for Microsoft SQL Server Administrator's Guide

Adding instances to a policy

This topic describes how to add instances to a policy when you choose the Protect instances option. You can also add individual databases to the same policy.

See Adding databases to a policy.

To add instances a policy

  1. On the Instances and Databases tab, click Protect instances.
  2. Click New.

    All instances that you registered are displayed.

  3. In the left pane, select the Instances node.
  4. In the right pane, check the check box next to each instance that you want to add to the list.

    Note:

    Note that for a SQL Server cluster, there is only one entry that is displayed for the cluster. This entry represents all nodes in the cluster; the host is the virtual name of the SQL Server cluster.

  5. Click OK.

    The objects you select in the backup selections list apply only to the instances or databases that you add to the list on this tab.
