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

To add a new NetBackup for DB2 policy

Log on to the master server as administrator (Windows) or root (UNIX).

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 DB2.
The DB2 policy type does not appear in the drop-down list unless your master server has a license for the database agent.
Complete the entries on the Attributes tab.
Add other policy information as follows:
- Add schedules.
  See Configuring an application backup schedule.
  See Configuring automatic backup schedules.
