Changing multiple policies at one time

Use the following procedure to change more than one NetBackup policy at the same time.

Note:

It is not recommended that users modify automanaged policies. If a user begins to modify an automanaged policy, a dialog appears that warns users about the possible consequences.

See Warning about modifying or deleting automanaged policies or storage lifecycle policies.

Note:

You can change Attributes, Clients, and Schedules of multiple policies at one time. However, you cannot change Backup Selections of multiple policies at one time.

To change multiple policies

  1. Expand NetBackup Management and select Policies.
  2. In the middle pane, expand Summary of All Policies and select the node that you want to change.
  3. Select the policies that you want to edit.

    Note:

    You can change different schedules across different policies at one time. If you change multiple schedules of different policy types, the Attributes tab is disabled. A tri-state is displayed for an attribute that has different values for multiple policies you selected.

  4. Select Edit > Change.
  5. Make the desired changes.

    See Policy Attributes tab .

    See Schedule Attributes tab .
