Directives for specific policy types

Some directives apply only to specific policy types and can appear only in backup selections lists for those policies. NetBackup passes policy-specific directives to the clients along with the backup selections list. The clients then perform the appropriate action according to the directive. All policy-specific directives that are passed to a client in a stream are passed in all subsequent streams.

Note:

Include policy-specific directives only in backup selections lists for the policies that support the directives or errors can occur.

The following policy types have their own backup selections list directives:

  • FlashBackup

  • NDMP

  • Lotus-Notes

  • MS-Exchange-Server

For information on other policy types and associated backup selections list directives, see the NetBackup guide for the option.
