Veritas NetBackup™ Administrator's Guide, Volume I

Copying or moving policy items to another policy

You can copy or move entire policies, attributes, schedules, and hosts from one policy to another. The following procedure describes which policy items can be copied or moved.

To copy or move items from one deployment policy to another

  1. In the NetBackup Administration Console, in the left pane, expand Deployment Management > Deployment Policies.
  2. In the middle pane, select either the Attributes, Schedules, or Hosts for a policy that you want to copy or move.
  3. In the right pane, based on your selection in the previous step, select the attributes, schedules, or hosts of a policy that you want to copy or move.
  4. Do one of the following:

    To copy an item

    On the Edit menu, click Copy.

    To move an item

    • On the Edit menu, click Cut.

    • Click Yes when asked if you want to delete the selected item from the policy.

  5. In the middle pane, select the policy item to which you want to paste the copied items.
  6. From the Edit menu, click Paste.

    When you paste items with the same name, NetBackup provides options: To either copy and replace the existing item, or copy but keep the existing item, or to not copy.

    Note:

    When you paste attributes, the existing attributes of the policy are always replaced.
