Backup Policy and Schedule dialog box

This dialog box appears when you configure the NetBackup Client Properties, or when you back up from the client (user-directed operation).

NetBackup Client Properties

When you configure the NetBackup Client Properties, the selections that you make apply to all backups and archives that are performed from the client.

Back up or archive from the client

When you back up or archive from the client, the changes that you make apply only to the backup window that is currently open. Any changes override but do not change the settings on the NetBackup Client Properties dialog box.

The policy type must match the type that is specified for the client on the NetBackup master server.
