Default Job Priorities properties
The Default Job Priorities host properties let administrators configure the default job priority for different job types. The Default Job Priorities host property lists the job types and the configurable default priority for each.
The job priority can be set for individual jobs in the following utilities:
In the Jobs tab of the Activity Monitor for queued or active jobs.
See Changing the Job Priority dynamically from the Activity Monitor.
In the Catalog utility for verify, duplicate, and import jobs.
In the Backup, Archive, and Restore client interface for restore jobs.
The Default Job Priorities dialog box contains the following properties.

A higher priority does not guarantee that a job receives resources before a job with a lower priority. NetBackup evaluates jobs with a higher priority before those with a lower priority. However, the following factors can cause a job with a lower priority to run before a job with a higher priority:
