Creating a Vault policy

A Vault policy differs from other policies in the following respects:

To create a Vault policy

  1. In the NetBackup Administration Console, expand NetBackup Management > Policies.

  2. Select Actions > New > New Policy.

  3. Type a unique name for the new policy in the Add a New Policy dialog box. Click OK.

  4. On the Attributes tab, select Vault as the policy type.

  5. On the Schedules tab, click New to create a new schedule. The type of backup defaults to Automatic. Complete the schedule.

    The Clients tab does not appear for Vault policy types.

  6. On the Backup Selections tab, enter one of two Vault commands:

    • Use vltrun to specify the robot, vault name, and profile for the job. The vltrun command accomplishes all the steps necessary to select, copy, and eject media. If the vault profile name is unique, use the following format:

      vltrun profile_name
      

      If the vault profile name is not unique, use the following format:

      vltrun robot_number/vault_name/profile_name
      
    • Use the vlteject command to eject media or to generate reports for completed Vault sessions. For example:

      vlteject -eject -report [-vault vault_name
      		[-sessionid id]] [-auto y|n] [-eject_delay seconds]
      

    Both commands are located in the following directory:

    install_path\netbackup\bin
    

    For more information on Vault names, profile names, and command usage, see the Vault Administrator's Guide.

  7. Click OK.
