Adding clients to a NetBackup for SharePoint Server policy

The clients list contains a list of the clients that are backed up during an automatic backup. A NetBackup client must be in at least one policy but can be in more than one.

The NetBackup client software must be installed on each of the following: the front-end Web server, the SQL database host, and the Index Files or the Index database host. The client software does not need to be installed on the Search or Job servers.
