Policy volume pool (policy attribute)
The Policy volume pool attribute specifies the default volume pool where the backups for the policy are stored. A volume pool is a set of media that is grouped for use by a single application. The volume pool is protected from access by other applications and users.
The available volume pools appear on the list. Whenever a new volume is required, it is allocated from the volume pool indicated.
If you select a volume pool on the Schedule tab, that selection overrides the selection on the Attributes tab.
See Override policy storage (schedule attribute).
See Example of overriding the policy volume pool.
