To activate the policy, select the Go into effect at check box. The policy must be active for NetBackup to use the policy.

The Go into effect at attribute specifies when the policy can begin to schedule backups. For example, if today is Monday and you enter Wednesday at 12:00 AM, the policy does not run until that time or later. Use the Go into effect at attribute to configure a series of policies in advance of when the policies need to become active.

To deactivate a policy, clear the check box. Inactive policies appear are unavailable in the Administration Console. To resume backups, recheck the Go into effect at check box. Make sure that the Go into effect at date and time is set to the time that you want to resume backups.

If the schedule is to be used for a catalog archive, the policy must not be active. The Go into effect at check box must be clear. For more information about how to configure a policy to archive the catalog,
